The Creative Wollongong Short Film Competition is now open, and this year’s theme is birds!

If you’re aged 12+ and have a story to tell, enter your short film for a chance to win prizes and have your work screened at the festival. Entries close 30 January 2026.

If you are a budding filmmaker, check out ITeC Academy’s Certificate III in Screen and Media course, which gives students hands-on skills to bring stories from script to screen.
