The 14th Annual HUMP! Film Festival premiered in Seattle, Portland, Olympia, and—for the first time ever—in San Francisco. While audiences all around the country will get to enjoy the latest HUMP! Film Festival, only audiences in Seattle, Portland, Olympia, and San Francisco got to vote in the 2018 HUMP! Awards. More than 26,000 people came out to see this year’s amazing new lineup of films—and the ballots are in, the votes have been counted, and it's my pleasure to announce this year's winning films!

But first...

The creators of HUMP! are proud to announce the brand new SPLIFF! Film Festival! SPLIFF is a lot like Hump—but with less sex and more weed but still some sex! Filmmakers, artists, animators, and stoners are invited to submit weird, trippy, or funny films on pot themes to splifffilmfest.com. Serious takes on pot culture, stoner comedy shorts, your mind-blowing weirdness—we're looking for short films that entertain, challenge, confound, and amaze. SPLIFF is a film festival by stoners, for stoners, and SPLIFF is all about celebrating recreational marijuana use and its liberating effects on our imaginations, appetites, libidos, and creative energies.

And now... without further ado... the 14th Annual HUMP! Film Festival Awards go to...
