The 11TH ANNUAL COASTLINE CHILDREN’S FILM FESTIVAL invites
you to submit your short film (5 minutes or less) to the 2021 YOUNG
FILMMAKERS COMPETITION. This year's festival is virtual.
Entry is FREE and open to anyone Ages 18 and under from Michigan, Indiana and the Chicago area.
Competition categories include Narrative/Live Action, Documentary
and Animation. Films will be judged on creativity, originality and artistic/
technical mastery. A one hour screening program will be curated from all qualifying submissions—with awards going to the top 3 films.
In addition, an Audience Favorite Award will be presented
to the filmmaker that receives the most votes during the festival.
The film festival is being held virtually since we cannot gather safely as a community.
All juror decisions are final. Open to kids living in the viewing area of the festival.
Virtual Red carpet award ceremony with prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Audience Award.
