Oklahoma Student Film Challenge
Emerging or unverified festival
The Oklahoma Student Film Challenge is a free filmmaking contest for Oklahoma high school and career tech students, presented by the Clean Shorts Film Festival in Norman. It is notable for requiring short films, typically 3–5 minutes long, with a prescribed genre focus such as mystery, thriller, or adventure, and for awarding a $500 scholarship to the winning film. As a student competition tied to Clean Shorts, it serves as an educational entry point into Oklahoma’s local film festival scene rather than a standalone major circuit festival.[1][2]
