Stir and Fry are hugely excited to have an international online short film competition!

The competition has 4 editions a year, so if you miss a deadline, be sure to submit to the next!
CATEGORIES (live action and animation)

For each edition of the competition, the best films will be promoted on the Stir and Fry YouTube channel. Of these selected films, there will be 1 winner in each category.
