ABOUT THE PRIZE

We have a proven track record of activating and elevating filmmakers, culinary artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, designers, craftspeople, and other motivated individuals — some have even found a new home in our community. Prize is more than just a series of events and festivals; we are an engine for economic activity, a spark for community engagement, and a driver for the kind of change that will continue to make Shreveport and Northwest Louisiana a premier creative and entrepreneurial destination in the United States.
