SFFILM Education is hosting an exciting contest for aspiring young filmmakers, open to all current middle and high school students.

In an effort to encourage creativity and celebrate different kinds of storytelling, we are leaving the style of the pitches up to students’ discretion they can submit a short film treatment, a general written overview of their idea, or a... combination of drawings and descriptions in the form of storyboards. Submissions should be kept to two pages in length or under. The top 510 submissions will be reviewed by a panel of filmmaker judges, including Nicole Perlman, screenwriter of Guardians of the Galaxy, Detective Pikachu, and Captain Marvel.
