NELSAC STUDENT SHORT FILM CONTEST

Mission

NELSAC’s mission is to deliver exceptional arts and cultural experiences to people of all ages, residents, and visitors alike, in northeast Leon County. Its guiding principles are affordability for participants and family-oriented events.

History

NELSAC was created in 2018. After organizing, it began providing arts & cultural events to the public, primarily in the northeast Leon County area. NELSAC’s live, public events were held in various venues (i.e., schools, churches, parks, retirement resorts).

NELSAC’s first Student Short Film Contest was held in 2021, when Covid 19 was first begining. This first film contest was very successful, but due to Covid, NELSAC stopped providing arts and cultural events until 2024. NELSAC then decided to only provide two student short film contest each year.

NELSAC’s motto/tag line is:

Experience Arts & Culture Where You Live!
