Last year’s contest had two winners. Andrew Buys won $3,000.00, with “Utah is Epic” and Sahna Foley won $1,500.00 for “Lose the Green Screen.” Both Andrew and Sahna also won Sundance Film Festival tickets, passes, credentials and a stylish trophy. Not to mention, these winning spots aired on Park City TV during the festival.

Andrew’s spots were so successful that portions of his commercials were shown in movie theaters across the United Kingdom as part of a Utah tourism promotional campaign. Currently, “Utah is Epic” is being aired during “Talking Pictures” on the CW30 and ABC-4.
