Pens to Lens is an annual, Champaign based K-12 student screenwriting competition for East Central Illinois run by the Champaign Urbana Film Society; kids write scripts over February, which are then submitted to Champaign area filmmakers and designers. Designers can select the scripts they wish to create posters for, and filmmakers can pick their favorites to produce as actual short films. The posters and films are presented to the community in a red carpet event to honor the young writers.
Once you register, we’ll send you an invite to the Pens to Lens Designers Facebook group. You can get quick answers to your questions and share your poster progress if you’d like feedback before turning in your final design.
Final posters are due by July 23.
