MORE ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The George Lindsey UNA Film Festival awards cash prizes to Golden Lion
Award winners in each competitive category, while the Best of Show award
comes with a $3,000 prize. In addition, the winner of the Clyde "Sappo"
Black Sweet Home Alabama Award - presented to the best film show at least
partially in Alabama - will receive a $2,000 prize.
Headquartered at the University of North Alabama, the Festival itself takes place throughout the Shoals area. The Shoals is an entertainment Mecca of the American South, with roots reaching to the heart of rock and roll, southern rock, and the blues. It is the birthplace of Helen Keller, "America's First Lady of Courage," W. C. Handy, "The Father of the Blues," and legendary Sam Phillips, "The Father of Rock and Roll," who first recorded the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The Shoals area has always been known for its creative people, maverick spirit and energy.
Embrace that creative Alabama
vibe, and submit to the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival today!
