Welcome to the 2022 re-generation international short film competition with Adobe, part of ...
Partnering with Adobe Education
There are two main sections to the film competition
- Years 5 to 9 students (about aged 10 to 14)
- Years 10 to 12 students (about aged 15 to 18)
To enter this competition, participants need to submit a video between 1 and 2 minutes in length (animations are welcome). The video/animation needs to be a resolution of either 720 or 1080 pixels (standard or full high definition).
The video needs to be based on the theme of building 'Resilience and Empowerment' for creating the world we all wish to live in with a focus on sustainability and a reference to at least one of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals.
Winning entries from each section will be showcased at the re-generation youth festival at the Immigration Museum in Melbourne and live-streamed out to those who can't be in Melbourne. Date to be confirmed.
Finalist will also be published in the re-generation virtual festival site as well as a range of Adobe in Education sites and events with a potential reach of over 200,000 teachers and lots more students around Australasia.
Small prizes will be provided to winning entries (details to follow). The winning schools will receive a special re-generation trophy.
We will accept registrations of interest up until the final submission date - July 22
