Filmmakers of all ages and skill levels across Western Australia are encouraged to submit short films that promote age-positive messages or explore the topic of ageism.

Ageism refers to the stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination that is directed towards people based on their age.

The purpose of the competition is to engage the community in discussions about ageing, what it means to age, and to challenge ageist attitudes.

Entries are open from Monday 8 April to Friday 14 June 2024 for filmmakers in the following categories:

  • 17 years old or under
  • 18-59 years old
  • 60 years old and over

Five films from each category will be shortlisted with a film screening event to be held in early July 2024 to announce the finalists and winners.

Revelation Perth International Film Festival will also hold workshops in April and May across the Perth Metropolitan Region to provide filmmaking tips and tricks for success in the competition.
