Each submission category comes with specific prizes, content and submission guidelines. There is no limit on the number of entries you can submit, and you are welcome to submit in multiple categories. As you work on your film project, make sure all cast and crew create their profile and sign release forms, you won’t be able to submit your entry form until they do! See the get started page for more details.

In addition to the Directing Change Film Contest, the Hope & Justice Art and Film Contest centers topics youth are grappling with in their day to day lives – mental health, racism, economic uncertainty, climate change, health disparities – with prompts that ask them to express and process their feelings in a positive and impactful format. Youth are asked to share how they find hope, ways they cope with tough times and complex feelings, and the changes they hope to see in their communities.
