Do film festival Winners get money?

The very topmost festivals tend award prizes offered by sponsors, never cash prizes. So you might get camera gear, editing software, or whatever. And only if there is a sponsor giving that prize. And generally only the “Best Picture" short film, if your lucky, in each category (live action, animation, documentary).

What do you get if you win a film festival?

You win a prize, whatever the award was for that festival. Cash, gear, and/or software. You also get an award and the rights to use the fact that you won that award in your marketing. And if this was a major film festival, you might now be eligible for consideration by the Oscars or other national award organizations.
