Entries are now open for the second COscars Youth Film Festival! Here’s a chance to get your film career kicked off.
The short film competition is for makers aged eight to 25 years. Films can be as short as 50 seconds and up to 25 minutes, with seven categories open to different age groups.
While cash prizes of $50 to $150 may not quite be at the same level as the international Academy Awards, organisers from Mount Alexander Shire Council’s Youth Advisory Group (YAG) said the competition would be just as keen. See the Mail for more details.
