The National Youth Film Awards (NYFA) returns for its 9th instalment this year and is currently open for submissions. This year, NYFA has partnered up with the Singapore International Film Festival, providing all winners with complimentary access to the festival’s screenings and events. Winners of the Best Short Film for both the Student and Open Youth categories will also be awarded with never-before direct green lane selection access to the festival.
NYFA will also present an expanded programme made up of NYFA Exchange, NYFA Cinema, NYFA Lab, NYFA Mentorship, NYFA Ceremony, and NYFA Party in this year’s edition. Each initiative is shaped to nurture the next generation of filmmakers through offering a versatile range of opportunities for learning, networking, and showcasing their skills.
Eligible participants, aged 35 and below, are invited to submit their short films ranging from live action, animation to documentary forms.
