Aspiring filmmakers and creative minds have a golden opportunity to showcase their talent on a national stage. The Flickerfest and Specsavers competition invites entries for a unique TV commercial based on the iconic ‘Should’ve Gone to Specsavers’ theme. This is more than just a contest; it is a gateway to professional exposure, with finalists screened at the 36th Flickerfest film festival in Bondi, and potential national television and 2027 tour screenings.

Whether the goal is to launch a professional career in advertising or to secure a life-changing sum of money, this event offers the perfect catalyst. Participants must bring their most creative ideas to the table to compete for the top spot and the accompanying financial reward.
