The European Film Academy’s Young Audience Award usually takes place in local cinemas around the world, including BFI Southbank. This year for the UK it’s online-only, so if you’re age 12 to 14 we welcome you to join the international YAA online jury wherever you live.
Every year three films are nominated to be watched, considered and voted on by each juror. In 2021 the exciting line up is Pinocchio from Italy/France, The Crossing / Flukten Over Grensen from Norway, and Wolfwalkers from Ireland/Luxembourg.
