London City Film Awards aims to gather emerging talent not only from the UK but also from around the world as well. We have started this international film event to allow up and coming producers, directors, writers, and everyone in between to showcase their productions. The art scene and film scene in London and around the world can be very daunting and seemingly impossible to get into and get involved with.
London City Film Awards is the perfect new platform for budding filmmakers of all backgrounds. We are a film event made for artists by artists to exchange and celebrate the new work that is being made all around the world.
London City Film Awards aims to gather emerging talent not only from the United Kingdom but from around the world in one setting where we can enjoy the works of talented individuals. We welcome submissions from a range of genres including short films, documentaries, features, animations and screenplays.
All programmes with the final selection will be available one month prior to the festival!
If your film has been selected for screening, you will be contacted a month in advance!
Award winners will be announced at our festival!
All laurels will be available to download on our website.
You can apply for as many categories as you want!
Winners will receive Trophy Awards and Award Certificates at our Award Ceremony in London.
Select films may be provided with the opportunity to work with our partnering production companies.
Please email us if you need any information regarding anything else, which we have not mentioned!
