    The Iris Prize is the world’s largest gay and lesbian short film prize and is open to any short film which is by, for, about or of interest to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex audiences and which must have been completed within 2 years prior to the prize deadline

    The Iris Prize unites a global network of film festivals - located in LA, Sydney, New York, Hong Kong, and Dublin amongst many others - to bring together the most promising new talent from around the world.

    The program will include screenings of all the 30 short-listed short films, feature films, talks and debates, parties, and a closing night award ceremony. The winner will receive the largest prize for a gay and lesbian short film competition in the world - valued at £25,000. The prize, generously sponsored by the UK post production sector, will allow the winner to make their next short film in the UK.
