This year's festival will see over $7,500 in cash and prizes given away to the winning filmmakers and screenwriters.  Juried and audience awards are given in several categories to celebrate achievements in filmmaking, screenwriting and acting including cash prizes for the Grand Jury Award, presented to the best feature film in competition, the Jury Prize awarded to the best short film in the festival, and the top three finalists in the screenplay competition.
