Nextwave regional youth film competition

Nextwave regional youth film competition open for entries

The Coffs Coast’s Screenwave International Film Festival is again hosting the NEXTWAVE short film competition for young regional Australians this year – and would like some short film entries from our school!

All films need to be under five minutes and include the phrase “What’s Next”. Creativity is highly encouraged. The best films will screen at SWIFF next January during the Nextwave Youth Film Awards, and tens of thousands of dollars in prizes are up for grabs to students (and our school!).

Competition closes 21 September 2020.

All competition details are available at www.nextwavefilmfest.com.au.
