2024/25 Short Film & Branded Content

We are now closed for new entries, and the judges have started work.

White & Gold Shark Trophies

​​

We appreciate that many short films are made with excruciatingly low budgets so we have included craft categories to celebrate those individuals whose efforts may otherwise go unacknowledged. Your work will be seen by a jury comprising of some of the world’s TOP commissioners of short form content (important, as you want to sell yourself as well as your work).
Through our awards and their endorsement of your work, you’ll ensure your creation gets the worldwide publicity is deserves. With the increase in demand for short form content The Shark Awards will provide a great exposure opportunity for makers of short films.
