Overview
***PLEASE READ THE RULES & TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBMITTING*** ***報名前 請務必詳閱 2026台灣國際兒童影展 徵件辦法*** English Version - https://tinyurl.com/2c2dz2mn 中文版 - https://tinyurl.com/26wcqpym Taiwan International Children’s Film Festival (TICFF) is a biennial event founded by Taiwan Public Television Service (PTS) in 2004 and the first film and television festival in Asia dedicated entirely to children aged 4 to 12. The 12th edition of TICFF is scheduled from late March to early April 2026 in Taipei. We are calling for entries with a cash prize of US$24,500 in total for extraordinary productions of dramas, animations, and TV/web series. Submissions to the competition will also be considered as candidates for our official selection. As the oldest and biggest children’s film festival in Taiwan, TICFF has established a reputation in film selection. Many films screened in TICFF later got invited by other children’s festivals in Taiwan, or approached by Taiwanese distributors and educators. So this could be a great opportunity for your films to get exposure in Taiwan!

Best planning and execution, the film got so much warmth. And to top it all my film Pukam Pukai won the best Dramatic feature. Even if it hadn’t won, the festival got free and fair selections without any lobbying and every film was seen and evaluated , even when they received over 1400 entries.
FilmFreeway reviews are filmmaker opinions, not our score. Cross-check red flags before paying fees.
