The YAAAS! Competition is a part of the new YAAAS! Youth Program at CROSSING EUROPE, that offers a holistic program of film education, acquisition of media competencies and DIY-video production. Taking place for the first time this year, the YAAAS! Competition is the fourth competition section, in which the winner of the CROSSING EUROPE Award – Youth Jury, endowed with 2000€ is selected. This section consists of contemporary European productions that were selected by the YAAAS! Young Programmers. After a rigorous sighting process they decided on six feature films that deal with the living realities of youths and young adults in Europe in different ways.
