From Into Film
We want children and young people to create a short film and use nature and their surroundings in an engaging and creative way, to capture the calmness and document something they’ve noticed or appreciated while spending more time in their local area. Whether it’s in the garden, the local park, or even from inside the home, the natural world is all around us. Encourage children to get creative and use their natural surroundings to make a short film, 3 mins or under in length (including titles and credits) using what equipment you have in the home. Films can be made on a mobile phone, tablet or camera, and we have a range of filmmaking resources to help support you.
There’s lots of advice, resources and information (including the prizes) at the address below

Closing date: Friday 19th June
A competition open to anyone between 7-12 years old.
Another competition from Into Film, this time with Puffin Books.
This competition aims to inspire young people to think about their dreams and how they can share them with the world. To enter, young people must storyboard their dream, whether it’s based on their personal goals, an extraordinary idea or even their favourite Puffin book. Above all, the judges will be looking for imagination and creativity! The competition is open for those aged 7-12 years, and entries are open until 3 August 2020.

And don’t forget Into Film’s Review Competition – more details here.
We are delighted to announce the launch of the 2020 ALCS Carnegie and Kate Greenaway (CKG) writing competition, in conjunction with the CKG Awards shadowing scheme.
This year’s competition involves a challenge to young writers aged between 8 and 16 to think about their favourite books from a whole new perspective. We are asking them to imagine they have the opportunity to spend the day with their favourite character in a fictional land, while also thinking about the basic principles of copyright and linking creativity with ownership.
The winner will receive a tablet for their personal use, a selection of Carnegie and Greenaway shortlisted books and £500 worth of books for their school library. Two runners-up will also receive a selection of the Carnegie and Greenaway shortlisted books. Entrants must be signed up to the CKG shadowing scheme: details of how to do this can be found on the CKG website.
This year’s ALCS CKG writing competition closes for entries on Monday 14 September 2020. Find out how to enter here.
IntoFilm have launched a writing competition that could win young people a £20 Amazon voucher every two weeks.
How to enter
Note: Due to safeguarding issues regarding young people on social media, entries may only be submitted by parents, carers, guardians or educators on behalf of young people.
