Local Flavor Showcase and Awards (Plaza Classic Film Festival)

Local Flavor is the juried local-film showcase of the Plaza Classic Film Festival in El Paso. A judging panel picks a slate of short films by El Paso-area filmmakers, which screen at the Plaza Theatre on the festival's closing day, followed by cash awards. In 2026 eight films were selected and the showcase ran July 26, with $3,500 in prizes: $1,500 for first place, $1,000 for second, $750 for third and $250 for the audience favorite. The 2027 call and showcase date had not been posted when this was checked; the festival itself returns July 15–25, 2027.
