  • 2 mins or less. This will be a contest for the youth and young adults aged 25 and under.  
  • Content can consist of a message or statement that is that has affected you during your time in isolation.   What was the impact like?  What did you learn about your experience?  Do you find your family growing closer together?  Why?  We want to know.
  • The winner's video will be shown during the Awards show presentation which is syndicated on YouTube in 15 countries, on social media through CIFF throughout 2022/23
  • There is no pre-requisite on format or delivery of your video. i.e..: shot on a cell phone, DSLR camera, etc or editing program. 
  • A Free Waiver Code will be provided through CIFF when submitting the project on the FilmFreeway platform. 
  • There will be 3 finalists and 1 winner.
  • CIFF will provide mentorship to the finalists on an ongoing basis during 2022/23 by email correspondence.
