The Beaches Young Filmmakers Comp gives creatives aged 12–24 the chance to produce a short film in just four days, compete for prizes and see their work at HOYTS Warringah Mall.
The competition has been a launching pad for young talent, with past participants going on to work in film and television.
Sponsoring this event means backing the next generation of local storytellers — a unique opportunity to engage while aligning your brand with youth, creativity and innovation. With a population of over 270,000 on the Northern Beaches, the reach and visibility for partners is significant.
If you are interested in coming onboard as a sponsor, take a look at our packages below. Sponsorship contributions can take the form of money prizes, products, or services.

Expressions of Interest close Tuesday 24 June, 2025.
