The BYU Public Domain Film Festival challenges student filmmaking teams to celebrate creative works that have recently lost their copyright status.

The film industry has a long history of taking stories from the public domain and presenting them anew to modern audiences.

Now is your chance to try it to compete for more than $4000 in prizes.

For more information on the competition, see our How It Works page.
