The Youth Film Competition is a program of short films that have been submitted to the Festival by a diverse group of young filmmakers from around the globe. The 8 films competing in this year’s competition, all made by filmmakers ages 11 to 18, were chosen from a pool of over 500 submissions by our Competition Selection Committee made up of members of the Minneapolis Institute of Art’s Teen Art Team. Nextwave finalist films are reviewed by the Youth Jury (Ages 15-18) who select two projects to receive the Youth Jury Award and Excellence in Youth Filmmaking Award, respectively.
