Why are opportunities like Film Prize Junior important to students like you?
Opportunities like Film Prize Junior are important to students and other young people today because it opens many roads in the film industry and you learn skills that stay with you for a lifetime. It is also a good chance to socialize with people you may not know and to have fun.
