The Love Notes Short Romance Competition is an annual filmmaking challenge presented by Silver State Storytellers, inviting filmmakers to create a 5-to-9-minute romance film within a two-week timeframe. Participants receive surprise creative prompts, including a prop, a line of dialogue, and a sound effect, which must be incorporated into their films. The competition culminates in a screening and awards ceremony, typically held around Valentine's Day at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City. This event is part of the Carson City Shorts film competition series, aiming to foster creativity and provide accessible filmmaking opportunities.
