2024 Finalists
This was a great year for festival entries. Below is the list of entries that are nominated for one or more awards. They are broken up into General Category Finalists and Special Category Finalists. Be sure to scroll to the bottom see if your project is in the finals for an award!
Whether your project is on the list or not, please register and attend the festival, to be held on June 1 LIVE in person at Hollywood High School or online. The Registration link will soon be here and on our home page.
This year, we will split the festival into two sections:
-
Elementary starts @ 12:30pm
-
Secondary starts @ 2:00pm
NOTE: This is not our program order - we like to mix it up!
The festival will also be streamed online. Watch this page or the homepage for the link. But in-person is a unbeatable experience.
Explore Historic Hollywood
Because the festival is at the historic Hollywood High School, there are many attractions nearby. Across the street is the iconic Mel’s Drive-In. Within walking distance is the famous TCL Grauman's Chinese Theater (with the concrete handprints). The Ghiradelli Soda Fountain, next to the El Capitan Theater, is also nearby, as is Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum. We hope to see you in Hollywood, June 1!
