HOORAY FOR CCOFFY 2026!

Promotional graphic for the Colorful Colorado Teen Film Festival for Youth. The design features a black background bordered by glowing yellow marquee-style lights. Large red, blue, and yellow text spells out Colorful Colorado 4 Teener, with Film Festival for Youth displayed below in rainbow-colored letters. On the left side, an older man in a blue tuxedo and bow tie leans into the frame with a playful expression. The overall design is bright, colorful, and theatrical, evoking the atmosphere of a film festival or stage marquee.

Now you can watch the whole 2026 show all over again! Thank you to all the amazing student filmmakers and terrific film instructors for all of your wonderful films.

The Colorful Colorado Film Festival for Youth (CCOFFY) is an annual short film competition that takes place in late May. It is open to all Colorado students from grades 7 to 12. Be sure to check back in 2027 when we start the fun all over again!

A brown horse stands prominently in the center, facing the camera, while a white horse and another darker horse graze nearby. Mountains are visible in the distance, and thin white contrails stretch across the sky, creating a peaceful rural landscape.
