We are a Bi-monthly film festival with a difference.
Although we stay open for 10 months every block of two months we will have block winners and Runner-up's of that block, there will be 5 blocks and the winners of each block will go through to our live Annual final.

So basically you can Win our bi monthly block and then compete to be an overall Grand master Winner at no extra cost.
We will notify all official entries at the end of each block and all winners a few days later via email

PLEASE NOTE - OFFICIAL ENTRY DOES NOT MEAN YOUR FILM WILL BE SCREENED
WE WILL ONLY BE SHOWING THE OVERALL WINNING FILMS ON THE NIGHT OF THE EVENT

We will be screening all WINNERS films on the finals night in Harrogate.
You can submit as many films as you want.

All films will be considered for our 6 tech awards

Get ready for the biggest and best festival right from the heart or Yorkshire Uk, with food, awards and guest speakers.

    Excellent film festival, warm, friendly, lots of love. So what about the films? The above line might make you think it's a bit 'all access' right? No. While anyone can enter a film the shown / chosen selection were outstanding. From high budget, to shoestring budget, all entertaining, emotional and high quality. Add to that a brilliant host and famous guest with some riveting stories, you'd be daft to miss this next year.

    Thank you to Velton, Michael, and the White Rose team for a wonderful evening. It was an honour to be part of such a vibrant community of talented filmmakers and to witness so many well-deserved awards. The festival truly has a lot of heart, and I strongly encourage anyone considering submitting their films to festivals to choose this one.
