Franklin County Visitors Bureau is having a Scary Mini Movie Contest! Get your creative energy flowing and make a mini movie of at least 30 seconds but not more than 90 seconds. There are two age categories – Up to age 12 and 13 to adult. First prize in each category is $200 and two honorable mentions of $100 in each category.
Franklin County Visitors Bureau wants your eerie-sistible, fab-boo-lous, fang-tastic, and boo-tiful mini movies. Don’t be afraid! Make a spooky reel, a funny-scary reel, a sci-fi reel, or even a thriller reel; your imagination is the limit. The only additional requirement is that mini movie must feature a Franklin County PA location or scene.
There is no entry fee. Send your finished video to [email protected] by October 25 along with your name, age, phone number, and title of the video. For questions or problems sending your mini movie, please contact 717.552.2977. Videos will be shared in the October 29 episode of FCVB-TV on ExploreFranklinCountyPA.com Winners will be announced at the end of the October 29 episode of FCVB-TV.
Videos can be funny and scary or simply scary. They can use animation or actors. Think about what is scary, creepy, or bone-chilling. Is it clowns, spiders, rats, creaking floors, flashing lights, extraterrestrials, or a sudden burst of chilling air? Bring it to life in the Scary Mini Movie Contest 2025. Entries will be judged on creativity, originality, storytelling, and production value. To get started, just email name, age, and phone to [email protected], so the visitors bureau knows to expect your submission.
