Under 18 teams
If you are under 18 and are wanting to register a team you must have someone who is over 18 to supervise and be responsible for the team - they must register as the team leader for legal reasons.
The team leader is responsible for the team's health and safety over the weekend and will need to make sure that they read our health and safety resources.
Regions
Teams should register in the region that they live in or have participated in, in the past.
Your film will be eligible for that regional final and that city manager will be your point of contact.
There are more details on our Regional Info page.

We also welcome international teams, as long as the team leader is a New Zealand Citizen or Permanent Resident you are good to go.
