EDWARDSVILLE - The second annual Eddie Awards presented by Edwardsville High School Filmmakers club took place recently at the Wildey Theater in Edwardsville.

The night brought out many students, EHS faculty, and supporting family, friends and community, many dressed in their best “award show” attire. A wide array of films were showcased, all created by students of Edwardsville High School. Previously selected finalists got their films shown on the big screen inside the Wildey Theater. All leading up to many awards given throughout the night, all coming down to the Film of Year Award.

“I am so excited to be here for the second annual Eddie Awards. This is such a fun event and I am so happy for each of the students who participated. It has been great seeing all of the students films this evening.” said Dr. Dennis Cramsey, Principal of Edwardsville High School, just moments before announcing Film of the Year.
