The festival is top-notch and the awards competition draws the very best student work from across the nation. So our students know if they win a BEA award, it's a huge deal, because they're competing against the best nationwide."

The qualitative level of the work shown at the awards ceremony, by both faculty and student, was truly outstanding. Our team was very honored to have been selected for Best of Festival and it made for a most memorable evening in Vegas.
