The 2025 KV Show will see the exciting launch of a short film competition. Participants will be invited to submit a short film/video no longer than three (3) minutes in any genre from documentary to news, comedy, music, bio pic, drama, romance, horror.. the choice is yours.

The competition is wide open to all ages and can be collaborations between a group. There is no specific theme however, inspired by Tropfest, each entry must contain a prop. With the Show being on Valentine's Day weekend, A HEART will need to be incorporated somehow.

A total prize pool of $1,000 will be awarded in the areas of:

• Best Film
• Most Creative Use of the Theme
• Junior Filmmaker Award (under 16)
• Young Filmmaker Award (age 16-25)
• Best Inclusion of a Valley Landmark

More prize categories may be added as the competition takes shape.

The competition is supported by several local film and television professionals who will hold an information session in November. Those keen to get involved, or just find out more are asked to register their interest.
