The Global Road Safety Film Festival is the most celebrated and prestigious festival for road safety film makers in the world. This year, for the first time ever, LASER International have joined forces with YOURS to launch the Youth Category to the festival which is FREE for youth and road safety entries!
If you have created a video for road safety targeting young people or if you are a young filmmaker (or a group of young filmmakers) that have created a film for road safety, you can enter it into the LASER International Global Road Safety Film Festival 2013 for FREE!
The usual entry price is €100 per film entry but for the youth category, it is totally free and you can submit as many videos as you want as long as they fit the youth criteria.
So why not take advantage of this offer? Its easy to take part and you can find out all the information that you need here. Additionally, if your film is shortlisted, you will be invited to the festival and have the €50 entry free waivered (you must, however, cover your own travel and accomodation costs).
The winner will receive the prestigious LASER International trophy for the best in category and also receive a special €300 cash prize to spend on a local road safety project or film. There is still lots of time left to enter so get your films ready and send them in for free!
We think this a great opportunity for young people to showcase their filmmaking skills and we know there are lots of films out there, created by young people, tackling road safety that could receive this international acclaim. It is important to put youth and road safety issues on the agenda at such international events where governments, international organizations and other key road safety stakeholders submit videos for nomination.
YOURS will sit on the jury to judge the youth category and so we encourage our network from all corners of the globe to take part, submit your films and who knows, you may just be the first ever winner of the Youth Category for the Global Road Safety Film Festival 2013.
For other categories of the festival, check out the festival website but please note, the entry fees will apply.
