Abloom Children’s Jury

The Abloom Children’s Jury is probably the world’s first jury only consisting of childrenwith disabilities.
This jury is a group of children who will watch various children’s films and ultimately choose one favourite film, which is then selected as the best film of the year and awarded the Abloom Prize! Abloom believes that everyone should have the right to participate in cinema, play, sports, school and so forth.

We believe all children and young people with disabilities should be seen, appreciated and heard!
