Utah Digital Media Arts Festival

What is the Utah Digital Media Arts Festival?

Every year, the Department of Digital Media helps hosts the Utah Digital Media Arts Festival (UDMAF) at the Utah Valley University campus. Before the event, High School students can submit projects that can receive rewards on the day of the festival. Beyond that, they can participate in workshops put together by UVU Digital Media Faculty and Students to learn more about future opportunities in our various programs.
