    This is a great festival for high schools and colleges in Georgia. Well planned and nice venue at Georgia College. Both years I have attended there were great industry professionals as keynote speakers.

    Good festival, wish there was a little bigger of a prize, but oh well... Also this festival would be much better in-person, but I know they can’t do that quite yet.
