ABOUT US

We are an Annual film festival with a difference.
Although we stay open for 10 months every block of two months we will notify the winners and losers of that block. there will be 5 blocks and the winners of each will go through to our live final.
We will notify all official entries at the end of each block and all winners a few days later via email
We will be screening all finalist films over a weeklong event in Harrogate.
You can submit as many films as you want and re-enter as many times as you want

Get ready for the biggest and best festival right from the heart of Yorkshire Uk.

​

We ran our first event in 2023, annd year on year, the festival has grown to new heights.

The white rose film festival is owned and run by two individuals with a passion for helping fellow creatives to get the recognition and exposure they deserve. We both come with a wealth of experience in creative media, from film, to books, producing, directing and screenwriting. We are supported by a group of trusted judges and guarantee that every single entry we receive is watched / read and scored with transparency and in full.  Here's a little about who we are:
