Get Set to Make a Movie!

When? 13 - 15 nov. 2026
Goal? Make a FILM in 48 hours and compete against the best of the best!

The Yes We Cannes Global Film Challenge, or YWC for short, is the ultimate clash of the titans. In this worldwide invitational competition, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners of Best Film from each city are given the chance to make a brand new film. And this time around you get 53 hours, with the deadline being at midnight on Sunday!

The top 14 films will screen at Filmapalooza in March 2027! Then, the BEST 8 films will be selected to grace the big screen at our special screenings at the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival.

The winner of Best Film will win $2000 dollars and is guaranteed to screen at Filmapalooza and Cannes.

You’ll be able to watch all the films in online screenings. The Audience Award will be determined by public voting over several rounds.

Are you part of a top 3 team? Plan to join us in November!

Event Times are displayed in US Eastern unless indicated otherwise.
