Taiwan International Children’s Film Festival (TICFF) is a biennial event founded by Taiwan Public Television Service (PTS) in 2004 and the first film and television festival in Asia dedicated entirely to children aged 4 to 12.

The 12th edition of TICFF is scheduled from late March to early April 2026 in Taipei. We are calling for entries with a cash prize of US$24,500 in total for extraordinary productions of dramas, animations, and TV/web series.

Submissions to the competition will also be considered as candidates for our official selection. As the oldest and biggest children’s film festival in Taiwan, TICFF has established a reputation in film selection. Many films screened in TICFF later got invited by other children’s festivals in Taiwan, or approached by Taiwanese distributors and educators. So this could be a great opportunity for your films to get exposure in Taiwan!
