The festive ending to this yearly trajectory. Who will take home the award for Best Film or Emerging Talent, and who was your favorite?
The jury has made their decisions, the votes are in—it is time for the Award Ceremony! This is a festive, celebratory evening, which officially concludes the main trajectory of the 10 Minute Challenge.
During the ceremony, the jury are introduced to the participants and their choice for “Best Film” and “Emerging Talent” is announced and awarded. Then, the results of the public vote for “Audience Favorite” is announced and the award presented.
We conclude the evening by screening the winning films and gathering all together for the last time in celebrating this year’s 10 Minute Challenge and its winners.
The 10 Minute Challenge is a short film competition for beginning queer filmmakers. Following a program of masterclasses, the participants are encouraged to make their own 10-minute short films, which celebrate their premiere during QFFU and can win prizes in the categories ‘Best Film‘, ‘Emerging Talent’, and ‘Audience Favorite’. In 2025, the masterclasses are in collaboration with Studio Camera.
