Young Filmmakers Contest
Young Filmmakers Contest
Offered by One Earth Film Festival
Whether you’re in third grade or are a post-graduate, if you love filmmaking, we may have the perfect opportunity for you: the Young Filmmakers Contest! Each year, the contest awards between $100 and $1,000 to applicants who submit videos about environmentalism. While there are seven categories split by age group and video type, each applicant’s video must relate to conservation or environmentalism in some way. While those in grade 11 and under are restricted to more specific topics, those in grade 12 and above have more freedom. Submissions may also be submitted individually or in groups. The contest is offered by the One Earth Film Festival, the Midwest’s premier environmental film festival that “creates opportunities for understanding climate change, sustainability and the power of people.”
If you want to express your love for the earth through film, we encourage you to apply to the Young Filmmakers Contest! This is a great opportunity not just to earn money for college, but also to gain more film experience and bring awareness to important issues. Here are the full contest rules.
