Every Great Film Starts with a Challenge

Submissions closed for 2026.

Watch for the link to purchase tickets to the 5th Anniversary AP’N3 Short Film Premiere Screening held November 1st at the Jersey Shore Arts Center.

The APN3 Short Film Challenge fosters a dynamic community of aspiring filmmakers, developing Asbury Park as a cutting edge incubator of film creation in New Jersey.

The Challenge provides a platform that invites filmmakers to produce a short film, gain exposure and enhance their talents in digital storytelling all through the lens of Asbury Park.
