The 10-10-10 Student Film making Competition is a highly successful educational program developed by the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in 2001 to bring together student filmmakers and industry professionals in an effort to encourage and assist the next generation of filmmakers. In 2006 we expanded this program to include the 10-10-10 Student Screenwriting Competition in recognition of the essential role of the screenwriter in the film making process. Through these two competitions, students produce 10 films over a period of 10 days and are judged on both Film making and Screenwriting criteria. Since its inception, 10-10-10 has given a public forum to hundreds of student screenwriters and filmmakers and generated a wealth of original creative work.
