Are you a creative young person looking to showcase your talents and make a name for yourself in the film industry? Or perhaps you are interested in creating films but looking for the right chance to try it out?
Or do you work with young people at college or secondary education who would jump at the opportunity to develop their professional portfolio?
If so, you should consider the Childnet Film Competition!
Now in its 14th year, our Film Competition sees young people in schools across the UK create 2 minute long films at school, and compete for a chance to win some amazing prizes.
Winners and their schools will be featured on our website and be recognised by industry leaders for their contribution to film and online safety.
Film competitions are a great way to gain exposure for your work and connect with other filmmakers in your age group.
Finalists will win a trip to the BFI in London for the Live Results Finale – a platform for you to showcase your creativity and filmmaking skills to a wider audience, and kickstarting your venture into the industry.
Your film will be featured heavily on our social media and website, and even be classified by the BBFC – so that, legally, your film can be played in the cinema! Pretty cool, right?
