Over the last few months young people from across the UK harnessed their creativity and entered the annual Childnet Film Competition. We are delighted to announce the 6 schools who have been shortlisted as finalists and who will see their films on the big screen at the BFI London on the 3rd July.
This year sees the ninth annual Childnet Film Competition inviting young people aged 7-16 to create short films to inspire their peers to use technology safely, responsibly and positively.
Harnessing the positive power of digital creativity, the project gives young people an opportunity to take the lead in educating and empowering their school communities and across the UK.
The Childnet Film competition is delivered as part of Childnet’s work in the UK Safer Internet Centre.
