Into Film Awards

The Into Film Awards is the best place to showcase young filmmaking talent, with categories designed to highlight the large pool of young creatives in the UK. Setting out to discover and honour the most talented filmmakers, reviewers, Into Film Clubs and educators, we encourage children and young people aged 5-19 from all backgrounds and with all abilities to get involved. The Into Film Awards is also designed to be a lot of fun, with famous faces and incredible talent from across the film industry on hand to present the Awards.

The 6th annual Into Film Awards will take place in March 2020, and this year sees some exciting new changes. Entering the Awards now not only gives you the chance to be nominated and join us at our star-studded ceremony in London, but this year, every single verified submission will also be entered into a prize draw to win £1,000 worth of filmmaking equipment for the filmmakers, film clubs or schools!

That means that even if you don't get nominated, there's still a chance you could walk away with heaps of new equipment to enhance your filmmaking potential for next year's Awards!

We'll also be bringing you our popular Audience Choice Award nearer the time, which will give you the chance to vote for your favourite film out of all of the nominees in the filmmaking categories. The vote takes place via social media, so the more striking, socially relevant or entertaining your film is, the better!

Entries will remain open until 6 December 2019, which gives you over six months to work on your films, including the summer holidays - a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of time away from school to produce a future Into Film Award-winning classic!

Before entering, make sure to have a read of the Into Film Competitions section of our general terms and conditions as well as the T&Cs page for the prize draw.
