The history of the Childnet Film Competition: International
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.
The international category is part of our hugely successful Childnet Film Competition, which has been encouraging young people to embrace creativity for the last 15 years. The winners of the Film Competition were announced in June 2024, and can be found here: childnet.com/film/winners
