​
A short video/film competition to launch 2021 summer as the country fully opens up from lockdown.
Read below for more details.
Summer '21 Competition:
What does freedom mean to you?
Freedom to express...
We are running a competition to launch summer 2021 with the title 'What does freedom mean to you?'
​
Coming out of Lockdown makes us think of our freedom, so this summer we are asking you to make a short video or film that describes what Freedom means to you. It could be a film with actor(s), it could be a documentary, an art piece, an interview, animation - whatever you want, using whatever equipment is accessible to you - even a mobile phone.
​
Selection & Award
All entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges who will go through the videos and make a selection of young people based on their submitted videos to be admitted onto our 6-week summer bootcamp where young people will be given the skills and confidence to pursue a career in the media industry.
