One month left to enter the Childnet Film Competition

11 May 2018

The Childnet Film Competition is a great opportunity for young people to get creative and share online safety messages in video form. We have some great prizes up for grabs again this year which can be won for the entrant’s school or youth club.

The Film Competition is split into two age categories, primary and secondary. For both categories young people must create a film in response to the theme: ‘Connect with respect – a better internet starts with us!

Schools or youth organisations must oversee and submit entries on behalf of all participants.

We are so excited to see what young people across the country have to say about online safety and want to encourage as many young people as possible in schools, youth clubs or part of any youth-focused organisation to take on the challenge and get filming!
