Register for Movie Challenge


Our movie challenges in 2025-26 have a new twist. They can still be about Wallingford but the must be about America or democracy. They are still any style and all ages. Our tools & stage resources are available for extended loans to anyone registered for the challenge. There will be a workshop on Flag Day starting at 3:30 to help get you started. Winners of each challenge will receive a Democracy Is A Creative Practice T-Shirt. Top Price will be a $100 gift card.

Every challenge: Make a movie about a person, place or thing related to America or democracy.

Your movie can be about memories or plans, new experiences, feelings, or passions. It can be a parody or fantasy. It will be about discovery because all movies are. It can be a 1-shot style or a highly produced video movie. You can interview a family member or friend (oral history). The story and style are up to you. But it must be original and copyright free and incorporate the challenge assets.

The current round (submitted by noon June 27th) must include:

  • Challenge Image: American Flag
  • Challenge lines: ‘There was a time…’ , means to me…, ‘unity…
  • Length: 3 minutes or shorter (15 seconds minimum).
