Truly an honour to become a finalist in this year’s screenplay contest. My protagonist, Blue, is one of the hardest characters to sell to Christian audiences, and the fact that you showed her so much love and validation is beyond words. Blue Idaho is a story the world needs right now. Thank you so much for spreading the message of love and respect. Great festival—I highly recommend it.  Noah Zayn Mortier

Second year of the festival, first time in new venue near downtown Tucson (Pidgin Palace Art Gallery). Small, intimate. Excellent picture and sound for the screening. Met some enthusiastic Christian filmmakers, so I hope this festival continues to grow and screen a variety of faith-based films. John Kestner 2026 Award Winner

It's always hard to find a space for faith based work and this is definitely a gem of a festival! I had 4 scripts which received recognition. It was welcomed validation! Keep opening doors! Ramona Taylor

I was deeply grateful both my film treatments, “War Angels” (a Christian faith-based action western) & “Heroes for Innocence” (a Christian faith-based action martial arts thriller) earned Quarter-Finalist’s honors. The communication & kindness from the folks at the helm of this festival was absolutely incredible! I pray blessings will continue to be bestowed upon this beautiful festival. A heartfelt thank you!  Mark Aycock

It was an honor to have my script named as a quarterfinalist in the Christian Faith, Hope, and Love Screenwriting Competition. It is a competition that is helping to serve a growing worldwide seeking for faith-based entertainment. Ernestina Juarez

Faith, Hope, and Love is a wonderful venue for any screenwriter and filmmaker that has a spiritual theme. I am rather selective of the festivals that I apply to and receive promotions every week from various festivals for my submission. What I love about this competition and festival, is they give every submission careful and honest review and you don't have to be connected to the promoters to win an award like other festivals. The interesting thing is if I would describe my screenplay "The Dog Healers," Its a spiritual journey about Faith, Love & Hope, so I feel spiritually connected to this festival and I am proud to be a quarter finalist in the screenwriting competition. I would highly recommend any screenwriter or film maker with a spiritual theme to submit their work of art to Faith Hope and Love. It is an enlightening experience. In addition to my screenplay, I will be submitting my award winning documentary "The Dog Healers." ~Mark Winnick

Faith, Hope, and Love screenwriting Competition was a very professional festival and provided quality feedback. I will enter again. Thank you. ~Eric Sollars

This is one of the newest festivals whose topic is so timely in our world; a world filled with hate, lacking spiritual devotion and hope. It is a truly a great place to submit scripts that can have an impact on our world. Thanks to all involved for recognition of the message of my script and wishing you all much success.
