Meet the Film Competition Finalists 2018

27 June 2018

The finalists come from around the UK and will find out where they have placed in their categories at the finalists’ event in BFI London on the 3rd July.

This is the ninth annual Childnet Film Competition inviting young people aged 7-18 to create short films to inspire their peers to use technology safely, responsibly and positively.

Harnessing the positive power of digital creativity, the project gives young people an opportunity to take the lead in educating and empowering young people in their school and across the UK.

The Childnet Film competition is delivered as part of Childnet’s work in the UK Safer Internet Centre.

This year we asked all of our entrants to create a film around the theme of ‘Connect with respect – a better internet starts with us!’

This year we had more entries than ever before, and all of the entries were of an extremely high standard. We would like to thank all of the schools who entered, and we hope it was an educational and fun experience for you and your pupils.
