2021 Submissions

The Third Annual Sailing Film Festival was help virtually on December 12th, 2021. With so many incredible submissions (nearly double the amount of last year!), it was very difficult to choose the winners.

The Oregon Youth Sailing Foundation Board of Directors voted on a scale from 0-5 for each of the following categories and the winners were chosen based on their total score. Each category had 1st, 2nd and 3rd place cash winners of $1000, $500 and $250, respectively, plus a social media prize of $250.
