Deadline: April 22, 2024
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 they’d love to invite you to support the young people you work with to make a short film about online safety for the Childnet International Film Competition 2024.
2024 theme: How would you make the internet a better place?
They are 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 they’d love to know about it! Remember films should be both entertaining and educational.
Since 2010, thousands of young people aged 7-18 and hundreds of schools and youth organisations across the UK have entered the Childnet Film Competition, creating films to help other young people stay safe online. The competition provides a platform for young people to tell their stories and be heard in spaces they can’t usually access. Over the years, schools and youth groups have won DSLR cameras, tripods and filmmaking equipment…in short everything young people need to keep making great films!
