BEA Collegiate Media Chapter Competitions
BEA Film 48 Competition
Fall 2026
The BEA Film-48 Competition gives student teams 48 hours to write, shoot, edit and submit an original short film. Teams must complete all creative work during the competition window while incorporating required elements such as a prop, line of dialogue, theme or genre. Final films are judged on storytelling, creativity, technical execution, originality and how well they use the required elements.
BEA Audio Competition
April 3 – 10
#BEAudioStories — Creating compelling professional audio commercial
We’ve partnered with RAB for this all-new challenge, where you will create a compelling 30-second audio commercial. The parameters of the challenge, including the client, will be provided at the time of the competition. You will have access to RAB’s Creative Best Practices and Copywriting resources as well as the use of RAB CopyWrite, a trained AI Tool that assists in generating customized scripts based on the needs you have identified for your client.
The competition is open to BEA institutional member schools and collegiate media chapters. You can do it during a class, as a co-curricular or extra-curricular activity, or over the weekend when you’re having fun! There are no limits to the number of students who can participate on an entry.
