Nourish Food and Film Challenge

The Nourish Food and Film Challenge is a chance for youth to get creative and share a unique story about food. The winning film-maker will be invited to attend the opening event of the Devour! Food and Film Fest in October 2025. They’ll also receive a prize valued at $500 and have their film screened on opening night of  the Festival. 

Submissions for the 2025 Food & Film Challenge will be opening in August – but it’s never too early to start planning! 

If you’re a young person in Nova Scotia with a story to tell about food, consider making a short film on your own, or with a group of friends. And we’ve got resources to help get you started. 

Are you a teacher looking for fun and educational class activities related to food? This would be a great project for individual or group work, and creates a hands-on learning opportunity across grades and subjects. By participating, students can learn about filmmaking, technology & software, culture, community building, nutrition, health and more.
