We are now looking for exciting and innovative films made both FOR and BY children and young people from across the UK and the world. The films can be shorts or features in any genre (fiction, documentary, animation) and in any format. With an established reputation as the leading young peoples' Festival in the United Kingdom, we want films that will excite and motivate our audiences and that showcase the best and newest young filmmakers from around the globe.

Selected films will be entered into competition where a jury comprising of young people and industry professionals will award £250 prizes in two age categories to the chosen films.

LYPFF - this category is for any films that are made specifically FOR children and young people. Entries can be any length, genre or format and submissions from anywhere in the world are welcomed.
