Young people from Sussex aged 18 and under can enter 'Dear Future Self,' launched by the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts (PQA), by creating a short film addressed to themselves 10 years in the future. Nick Pilton, head of film and television at PQA, said: "‘Dear Future Self’ is all about encouraging young people to reflect on who they are and what is important to them. "Film is a powerful storytelling tool, and we can’t wait to see the creativity and imagination that participants bring to the challenge." Two winners will be chosen, one under 12 and one 12 or over. Winning and runner-up films will be shown at the PQA Film Festival 2026.
