33 Teams, 33 Films

The Annual 48 Hour Film Challenge, held in July, limits the team entries to 33 and varies the genre, line and prop every year. Unlike other 48-Hour challenges, the entry fee is low, the organization is a non-profit and the winner is an automatic selection to the Phoenix Film Festival. After the challenge concludes on Sunday night, a screenings is held at Harkins the following week. Prizes are given in a variety of categories. In addition, first and second place receive a cash prize ($300 and $100, respectively).
