Important Information
The Nextwave Youth Film Competition returns for 2020!
The search is now on for the next wave of young regional filmmakers, with short film entries open from May 1st – Sept 21st.
Nextwave, presented by the Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF), now in its sixth year is host to Australia’s largest regional youth short film competition and is free to enter for young people aged between 10 - 25 years, living outside a metro area.
Short films can range from a variety of genres, including comedies, dramas, thrillers, sci-fi, animation, documentary and personal essays. All that is needed to enter is to make a short film under five minutes (including all credits) and to creatively include the phrase, ‘What’s Next?”
Along with an array of awards and prizes across a variety of age categories, short film finalists will have their films premiere at the 2021 Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF) in Coffs Harbour in January. Lucky creatives will also have the opportunity for their films to screen at venues across Australia for Youth Week in April 2021.
The SWIFF team are also working on broadening access to their Nextwave filmmaking workshop program by offering a series of online workshops for teachers and students across Australia. Nextwave’s redesigned workshop program is launching as an online learning experience to be delivered to regional, rural, and remote students across Australia, with the learning program supported by teachers and home-schooling parents available from June.

Just a reminder, school zones are in operation around schools.

In accordance with the Department of Education Duty of Care Policy, teacher supervision of students commences at 8.30am until the end of the school day. In the interests of child safety, no student is allowed at school before 8:30, as supervision is not provided.
If care for your child is required before 8:30 am, before and after school care is offered by the Guyra Preschool and by some Family Day Care providers in Guyra.
