I am wondering if anyone has a list of film festivals that my students can aspire to entering their ATAR productions into?

A few that might interest you:

https://cinefestoz.com/cinesnaps/ (great - but regional from memory)
BUFTA
Atom awards
YOHFest is also an option - theme is Wellness in 2022
Flickerfest have a youth category called FlickerUp
There is a WA one if I recall. There are quite a few others, which I will have to dig up.
Film Freeway is good, but often festivals don’t show up unless they are in the admission stage, so you have to keep checking. Also these are usually having a student section, rather than being a student festival. A lot of the student festival ones I have seen are not on Filmfreeway.
Hi Rosie,
I’m a Media teacher at St Stephen’s Duncraig, and we have run this competition for six years. It’s open to any WA students, as long as their submission is copyright free, and the prizes for winner and runner-up for the Secondary category is a $500 and $250 JB Hi-Fi Voucher respectively. Here’s a link to the 2021 website, which I’ll be updating mid-2022 😊: https://www.synthesisfilmfestival.com.au/
Thanks,
