About this activity
Young Punjabi filmmakers are invited to express Punjab and Punjabiat through the art of short film at the 4th International Punjabi Conference 2026. Films must be in Punjabi (HD resolution), 1–10 minutes long, with no copyrighted music. Themes: Punjabi language, Punjabi culture, the Partition of Punjab, environmental issues, and Punjabi youth issues — story-focused, no direct propaganda. Open to college and university students as well as social media production teams; the top 3 winning films will be screened at the conference. Scoring: 60% jury marks, 40% public views; jury decision is final. Two prizes are reserved for Pakistani Punjab and one for the diaspora generation abroad — with 200K prize money and award shields, raised 100% this year to encourage more creators. Submitted films become the property of the 4th International Punjabi Conference. Submit by 15 October 2026.
