While the event will occur in New York City, it will also be livestreamed, ensuring a global audience for the films and discussions.
The festival celebrates innovative and thought-provoking films that raise awareness and inspire action on climate change. We are seeking short film entries (1–3 minutes) that explore themes such as climate change/science, environmental solutions, or the human stories behind the crisis. As you can see from past year's winning entries, films do not have to be technically polished or super professional. In fact, most of the entries from the past two years have been shot on cellphones.
Why participate?
- Global Exposure: work will be screened alongside other inspiring films, showcasing creative solutions to climate challenges.
- Cash Prizes: Winners will receive monetary awards, recognizing their creativity and impact.
- Platform for Change: The festival is a growing platform to inspire others through the power of storytelling and to create global change by creating a global voice of artists.
You can view past winning entries from 2023 and 2024 for inspiration.
