The competition was launched on the show Blue Peter in June this year and, to be in with a chance of winning the special award, children between the ages of 7 and 14 were asked to submit their original short films.

The resulting entries were judged by a panel of industry experts from CBBC, Bafta and well-known celebrity faces including Anna Popplewell from The Chronicles Of Narnia, author Anthony Horowitz, Blue Peter's Andy Akinwolere and Newsround's Ellie Crisell.

The four nominees for 2007 are:

All four young nominees will be attending the annual Bafta Children's Awards on 25 November 2007 where the films will be screened. The winner will be announced on the night and will receive an award.

BBC Learning controller Liz Cleaver says, "Through our nationwide summer roadshow and BBC Open Learning Centres, thousands of children were given access to expert support and equipment.

"Many of those attending had never picked up a camera before. Now they've begun on their film-making journey we can't wait to see the ongoing results. The campaign has also created great entertaining content on Blue Peter and online."

Chair of the jury Jocelyn Stevenson says: "The BBC/Bafta partnership was very exciting and enabled the academy to work with an audience we're keen to engage. The children who participated were unbelievably enthusiastic, and this enthusiasm supported a high level of creativity and innovation. The range and standard of the films submitted was mind-boggling."

All nominated films are now viewable on the CBBC Me and My Movie website in the Bafta area. This original 3D online space enables children to engage with the experience of film-making and upload, share and rate each others films – bbc.co.uk/cbbc/meandmymovie.

The four nominated films will also be shown at the opening gala of the London Children's Film Festival at the Barbican on 17 November on BBC big screens across England, and the results will be featured on Blue Peter on 27 November.
