Sprint 4G Short Film Competition


The 4G Competitive Edge Filmmakers Challenge invites college students to shoot and produce a short film in a variety of creative forms including but not limited to commercial, drama and comedy. Students will be required to film with a smartphone illustrating how the ease and services of 4G gives them a “Competitive Edge”.

The challenge is more than a contest. It’s a chance for students to learn tips and inside information about filmmaking. That’s why Sprint 4G has partnered with Thurgood Marshall College Fund to kick off a college tour that will visit historically black colleges and universities around the country.

As part of the college tour, students will have the opportunity to screen a new feature film and participate in an entertainment career symposium with industry experts including special celebrity guests. Panelists will give students fresh insight on the various elements necessary for a successful career whether behind or in front of the camera via the newest technology. During the tour, students will also be able to sample Sprint 4G products and experience the speed and reliability of Sprint’s 4G network.

Two (2) winners will receive:
1) $2,500 cash prize to launch their career
2) Roundtrip airfare and ground transportation
3) Hotel accommodations for two nights
4) Lunch with Sprint executive
