Uplift Film Fest - Call for Submissions

The Great Wonders Uplift Film Fest is looking for your inspirational film! The Uplift Film Fest is unique in two main objectives: to highlight the amazing regional talent in our Four State Region (Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma) and to provide a platform for uplifting and inspirational films from all across the country. We are looking for films that raise insights about relatable subjects and convey truth, offering hope whether the story is bright or dark. Submit your film and plan to join us in Webb City and Joplin, MO, on March 5-7, 2026 to win one of 19 awards including our new Kingdom Story Company Award, which will give your film exposure to professional filmmakers who will provide feedback on your work. Kevin Downes, actor/director/producer and CEO of Kingdom Story Company, will be present at the festival to offer workshops and deliver an address at the awards ceremony.
