Submissions are now open for 2027
Australia's Top Short Film Competition is now open for film submissions!
This is your chance to get your work in front of packed crowds and some of Australia's top industry talent. Selected films will go in the running for a stacked prize pool including $10,000 cash for Best Short Film.
We're open to all genres and works from both established and emerging filmmakers. Plus, our Under the Radar program is dedicated to budding filmmakers under the age of 21. So whatever your story, if you've made a good short film, we want to see it.
