The organiser of the contest, the Internet TV company Televeo.com, wants to become the top showcase for Spanish shorts. For this reason, they have set up this competition which not only offers hefty prizes to the directors but also has no limit to the number of short films which can enter, or production deadlines. The contestants only have to fill in a form online and send a copy of the short on DVD.
However, filmmakers are not the only protagonists involved in this initiative. The public will have the best Spanish short films available at the click of a mouse, and share the responsibility of selecting the nominees. Every month, two of the short films chosen will become finalists: one selected by the judges but the other by Internet users. The most popular short film each month goes directly to the finals, to be held in January 2010.
At the finals, after the competition has been running for a year, the 20-plus finalists will compete for the star prize at the festival. The winner of the Televeo New Talent award will get their next short film produced with a budget of 40,000 euros and national and international distribution, worth over 4000 euros.
With this initiative Televeo show their interest in Spanish short filmmakers work, giving them their own space to exhibit their productions.
