The Staffordshire Day film competition is back, and once again we’re looking for great movies about our fabulous county.

Organized with the help of Enjoy Staffordshire and Staffordshire County Council, the competition is open to all filmmakers who want to celebrate everything great about the county, including the history and heritage, the open spaces and the renowned visitor attractions.

Entries must fit with the theme, The Great Outdoors, and can be productions you're currently working on or a video you have made within the last 5 years, but they should be no longer than 30 minutes (or five minutes for the mini-movie category).

Videos will be judged by the award-winning filmmakers Darren Teale MBE (Junction 15) and Ray Johnson MBE (Staffordshire Film Archive).

All judges will also provide constructive feedback.
Our judges are impartial and highly qualified.

There will be an awards ceremony at the Mitchell Arts Centre to promote Staffordshire Day on Sunday 1st May 2022. Free attendance for everyone and the start time will be at 2 pm.

Venue Address... Mitchell Arts Centre. Broad St, Hanley, Stoke on Trent. ST1 4HG

Entries and the awards event will be managed by Enjoy Staffordshire, Staffordshire County Council, and Philip Kempson formerly of the Smokies film festival and film director.
