The Aimee’s 2023

December 11

º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ hosted The Aimee’s, the annual on-campus Christmas short film competition that is beloved by the LPU community.

Creativity, the arts, and storytelling are part of the rich heritage and legacy of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. The Aimee’s, named for our founder Sister Aimee Semple Mcpherson, is a long-held tradition where our students create compelling films for the holidays and compete for the top awards. Those competing are divided up by their floors in the Residence Halls, with healthy competition created between on-campus residents and commuters. After these films are created, all students, staff, faculty, and guests gather for an “Oscars-style” award ceremony, where awards are presented after being judged by a group of staff and faculty. There is a red carpet, photo booth, refreshments, hosts, presenters, and more.
