Hope's Door New Beginning Center Film Contest and Festival

The Hope's Door New Beginning Center Film Contest and Festival is a student film contest on teen dating violence, run by Hope's Door New Beginning Center, a Plano-based agency that serves people affected by intimate partner and family violence. High school students in grades 9 through 12 and college students make short films on the topic, and the films are screened at the Plaza Theater in Garland. The top three entries win cash prizes and are shared on the agency's channels for education, and other awards come with gift baskets. The first edition took place February 22, 2025. No 2026 or 2027 edition had been listed as of October 2026.
