Young film-makers from around the world are being invited to enter a mobile film competition on the theme of athletics.

Working in collaboration with the International Athletics Film Festival (FICA), the International Association of Athletics Federations' (IAAF) heritage and broadcast departments are seeking short films, no longer than two minutes, made on mobile phones.

The competition is open to all aspiring film-makers, regardless of experience, under the age of 23.

The winner's prize will be a six-day trip for two to the IAAF World Under-20 Championships in Nairobi that takes place next July in the Kenyan capital.

This includes round-trip flights and hotel accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis.

Film-makers are limited to one submission which can be vertical or horizontal.

The film must be shot entirely on a mobile such as a smart phone or tablet, in high definition or 4k format. 

Films made on other types of cameras will not be accepted and non-English language films must include English subtitles.

The winner will be selected by a FICA jury and announced at the second edition of the FICA festival which will take place from November 4 to 9 in San Sebastian, Spain.
