The International Jury for the National Competition will consist of experts in the areas of culture, film production, film theory and film critics and will award the Grand Prix for the best short film, associated with a financial prize of EUR 2,000. In addition, the Jury may award two Special Jury Mentions. Only short films of up to 30 minutes produced after January 1, 2017 will be eligible for the competition.
