Established in 2001, The Shortie Awards: Student Film and News Festival recognizes original digital media productions created by student filmmakers, ages 7-18, and their teachers. The Shortie Awards focuses on nurturing imagination and choice making in students.

The Shortie Awards is part of MHz Networks' Education Department. The event grew as part of the Department's now defunct EAT (Education Arts and Technology) program for young filmmakers in the Washington D.C. area and has since blossomed into a national and even international event, featuring submissions from New York to California, Canada to Bolivia.

The 7th Annual Shortie Awards - Student Film & News Festival will be held on June 1, 2008 at The Documentary Center at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. For more information, please call the Shortie Hotline: 703-770-7137 or email Shortie at shortie@mhznetworks.org .
