The competition, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Milton Keynes Community Foundation, invites young people across Milton Keynes to produce and submit a short film (up to 3-minutes) of any genre in response to the competition theme.

Entrants are asked to respond creatively to the theme ‘city club’ - the name originally given to a national leisure complex planned for Central Milton

Keynes in the 1970s.
