April 1-2, 2022
55 Entries
36 Official Selections
2-Year Wait
What year would YOU call it? Our shirts said 2020…
Call for Entries went out in October 2019, we got a great bunch of submissions and the Judges went to work. March 1 we were ready to make a festival…and then the world shut down. So we postponed the 2020 event indefinitely. In spring 2022, we felt it was time to put things back in gear. Thank you to those who patiently waited!
Congratulations to all Official Selections and Eddy Award Winners!
