Audience Choice 2025

This year's phenomenal Into Film Awards nominees have been announced, and we're sure you've got your own personal favourites from the outstanding selection of films. Now's your chance to personally support and celebrate the incredible work of young filmmakers from across the UK by casting your vote in our Audience Choice Award.

While the filmmaking categories at the Into Film Awards are judged by a panel of film industry experts, including members of the Into Film board, the Audience Choice Award (proudly sponsored by Universal Pictures International) is decided by you, the viewers. 

Which talented young filmmakers from across the UK do you think deserve a trophy? Perhaps one of the films moved you, made you think or laugh, touched on issues that you feel are important to be recognised; or maybe the quality of some of the films simply blew you away. Whatever the reason, this is your opportunity to get involved and help support the UK's next generation of filmmaking talent.

How Does it Work?

First things first - if you've not already watched our brilliant nominated films, head over to our nominees announcement where you can enjoy them all in one place. Once you've watched the films and picked out your favourites, voting is simple!

To cast your vote for the Audience Choice Award, you will need to head over to our social media channels. You will be able to vote for your chosen film (or films!) on our Facebook, Instagram, and Threads channels. Please read the following rules carefully.

You will find one post for each nominated film on each of our Facebook, Instagram, and Threads channels. To vote:

  • Like and Share/Repost the relevant film post to cast your votes. Every Like and every Share/Repost counts as a separate vote - so by doing both, you're giving double the support to your favourite film(s)!
  • You can vote on all three platforms - and for more than one film - giving you multiple chances to help your favourites win the Audience Choice Award.
  • The film with the most combined engagement (Likes and Shares/Reposts) across all platforms will be crowned the winner.

And to make it even easier, we've included links to each of the posts across all three channels further down this page.

Important Voting Rules

On Facebook

  • When voting on Facebook, only public shares (i.e. Shares visible to the Into Film Facebook page admin) will be counted. Each public Share contributes to the post's total engagement count, which goes toward a film's overall vote total.
  • Each Like and Share will be counted as individual engagements. Voting will be monitored daily.

On Instagram

  • Head to our Instagram grid or the ‘Audience Choice' Highlights folder under our bio.
  • Within the Highlights folder, you will find a clip of each film with a link back to the original post and the full film. Tap the video and select ‘Watch Full Reel' to be directed back to the original post. This is where you can Like and Share the video to cast your vote(s).
  • Please note that only Likes and Shares on the original post will be counted (not from Stories or Highlights).

Remember: Liking and Sharing the original post counts as two votes - don't forget to maximise your support!

Cast Your Votes Below!

Follow the links below to vote for your favourite film(s) across our three social media channels.

Voting is open until 13:00 on Monday 2 June 2025, with the winner to be revealed at the Into Film Awards ceremony on Tuesday 24 June.

In the interests of fairness, the order of the films below, and across each of our three social media channels, has been determined at random.
