A PIONEER INTERNATIONAL CONTEST GATHERING NEARLY A THOUSAND INDEPENDENT AND ACTIVIST CREATIONS AROUND THE WORLD!
- For filmmakers UP TO 30 YO
- Films about environmental and social issues
Every year, the Deauville Green Awards brings together key individuals from various backgrounds to encourage the audio-visual world to commit to the ecological transition: advertising and communication professionals, fictional and documentary filmmakers, scientists and sustainable development specialists, associations and the general public.
For the past few years, the festival has also been committed to bridging the gap between different generations within the audiovisual sector. A link between the energy of committed young creators and the experience of more established professionals who have been in the industry for many years.
2020 saw the first edition of this new and exciting competition, the Young Creative Awards. Once again, in 2025 the floor is being opened up to young creators, videographers and filmmakers, who are using the power of change-oriented storytelling to engage with the pressing issue of climate change and the destruction of ecosystems.
This free competition aims to reward the most impactful and inspiring productions created by this new generation, to help them see their work as a vector for change and to encourage them to share their environmental message with the world.
The Award
The Young Creative Awards will grant one trophy to the best film according to the following criteria: the originality of the production, the technical quality (e.g. image, editing and sound) and the effectiveness of the message to encourage the audience to take concrete action on environmental issues.
Winners of the Young Creative Awards will thus benefit from high international visibility amongst key audiovisual professionals from around the world, including winners of the Deauville Green Awards competitions, broadcasters, journalists, producers, directors, environmental experts and the general public.
In addition, the winners will receive feedback on their films from the esteemed Young Creative Awards jury, which will be announced in May 2025... Stay tuned for more information!
