Annually, SF3 gives away over $50,000 worth of prizes across the festival from sponsors, including memberships, apps, lenses, microphones, classes, mentorships, smartphones, iPads and much more.

SF3 2022 finished on Sunday November 6 with a gala red carpet party, a sell-out weekend of screenings and two award ceremonies.
