With minimal lead-time, the change was made for the 5th-Annual event to change to a virtual format from being a fully in-person event, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tickets were available by donation, and resulted in more funds brought in to support watershed education than in the history of the event.

This change was a huge success, making the Watershed Council’s event a spotlight event for virtual film festivals nationalwide for host organization SYRCL.
