Healthy Futures of Texas Student Film Contest (Dallas)

The Healthy Futures of Texas Student Film Contest invites Texas high school students to make short films about relationships and sexual and reproductive health, on a theme set each year. A panel of judges reviews the entries and the top films screen at a public event in Dallas, with cash prizes of $1,000, $750 and $500 and a $500 donation to the winning student's school. The nonprofit, which works on adolescent health education and policy, also holds a San Antonio contest. The 11th annual Dallas contest was held April 19, 2026 at the Texas Theatre, with films from 10 high schools on how online life shapes offline relationships. The next theme and deadline had not been posted when this was checked.
