Downtown Little Rock video commercial contest open to all skill levels

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Feb. 16, 2021) – The beautiful thing about modern technology is that we have the ability to be photographers and videographers at our fingertips. Harness that power for a chance to win public exposure and big prizes from four downtown Little Rock organizations. 

Downtown Little Rock Partnership (DLRP), Arkansas Cinema Society (ACS), and KARK and Fox16 news stations have teamed up to host a downtown Little Rock video contest. Create a commercial showcasing the best of downtown Little Rock in under 30 seconds. The scope of the commercial can be as narrow or as broad as you like. Creativity is encouraged.

“We love finding ways to showcase local artists and art forms around downtown Little Rock, and videography and photography are part of that,” Gabe Holmstrom, Executive Director of Downtown Little Rock Partnership, said. “We’re encouraging anyone with access to a phone or camera to get out there and show us what they love about our city.”
