The Childnet Film Competition: International 2024

The Childnet Film Competition: International champion youth voice in schools across the world.

Calling all teachers and educators working with young people outside the UK!

Do you know any young people aged 7-18 who are passionate about film? Can they tell a good story, create animation or inspire positive change? Then we’d love to invite you to support the young people you work with to make a short film about online safety!

Entries for the International Film Competition have now closed – watch the winning films here:

2024 theme: How would you make the internet a better place?

We’re looking for films made by young people that inspire their friends and others to create positive changes in online spaces! If they’ve got something original to say about creating a better and safer internet, then we’d love to know about it! Remember films should be both entertaining and educational.

Dates to remember!

A competition that champions youth voice from around the world!

We started the Childnet Film Competition: International in 2021, to provide a platform for young filmmakers aged 7-18 from all over the world to tell their story and to become part of important conversations around online safety.

We’ve had entries from Columbia, Moldova, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Turkey, India, Ireland, Myanmar and the United Arab Emirates.

We’d love to see what the young people you work with have to say about online safety! So complete the entry form here to be in with the chance of winning.

“I believe our film competition gives young people the chance to have their say and increase online safety awareness in their own unique voice and style.”
