Twin girls from Gwynedd have won a nationwide competition and will see their idea for a TV show air this week.

Six-year-olds Sophia and Luisa impressed the judges of the See Yourself on Screen Challenge, a UK-wide competition for 4-18 year olds, organised by the BFI’s Young Audience Content Fund and launched by doctor and TV presenter Dr Ranj Singh last month.

They created a film called Sophia and Luisa’s Cookie Kitchen - an instructional cooking show.

They were mentored by TV presenter and writer Konnie Huq and their short film will be airing on Milkshake!

Hundreds of youngsters sent in their 30-second video submissions, with an esteemed panel of industry judges choosing 15 overall winners.

The finalists received one-to-one virtual masterclasses from famous faces from the world of TV: Konnie Huq, Jessica Hynes, Rob Delaney, Cheryl Taylor, Harry Hill, Matthew Lewis, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Robert Popper and Reggie Yates.

Each mentor offered hints and tips to help guide the finalists through the script writing and shooting process, before turning their idea into reality.

Sophia told the Cambrian News: “Our school teacher and Nana told us about the competition so our Mummy helped us to enter.”

Luisa added: “We can’t believe we’re one of the winners! We had so much fun making our mini cookery show! We hope everyone likes it!”

Head of the BFI’s Young Audiences Content Fund, Jackie Edwards, said: “We launched the See Yourself on Screen Challenge as a way of giving a platform to young people whose lives have changed significantly during the Covid-19 lockdown, and we were thrilled to receive so many brilliant pitches.

“The Young Audiences Content Fund exists to bring quality content which entertains and reflects young people from all over the UK, and this challenge has enabled them to tell their own stories on screen and, excitingly, have it aired on national television; it’s a real celebration of the creativity of our young people for everyone to enjoy.”

The two-minute long mini-TV shows will air between 8 and 10 July across the Challenge’s broadcast partners Channel 5’s Milkshake!, CITV, E4, S4C and Irish channel TG4.
