Brian Petty, a journalism graduate student who also works for university media services, was nominated in the category of Best Student Program for his master's thesis film, Finders Keepers, the story of the Arkansas Diamond Mine near Murfreesboro.
Petty will compete against two other journalism graduate students, Jesse Abdenour and Tony Cosgrove, who were also nominated in the Best Student Program category for their documentary film, Knocked Out, the story of middle-aged boxers.
