Young filmmakers will be glued to their television sets as their work premieres on TVNZ 7 tonight and tomorrow.

Film crews from two North Shore schools, Albany Senior High and Kauri Park Primary, were selected as part of the final 20 in The Outlook For Someday film challenge.

Competing with 153 other entries and contestants twice their age, the North Shore teams were given the task of promoting environmental awareness with their films.

Kauri Park students Talisha Green, 10, Maddi Roelse, 11, Kjirsti Pedersen, 11, Leah McLeod, 11, and Bianca Carpendale, 9, spread the message of sustainability with their animated film Five Ways To Help The Environment.

At a presentation the girls won the Upstart Primary/Intermediate Award, one of 12 special prizes, and their film will screen tonight at 6.30pm.

Albany Senior High duo Isabelle Russell, 17, and Laura Falkner, 18, were recognised for their documentary Changing The Climate with the Ministry of Youth Development Participation Award.

They were congratulated for demonstrating strong participation amongst their peers and at community level.

Their film will screen tomorrow at 6.30pm and will be repeated at 12.30pm the following day.

Both crews are up for the audience favourite award to be chosen by online and TV voters. Voting runs until 5pm on December 18.
