LATINUY, Uruguay's International Latin Film Festival, showcases the most recent and innovative films (short and long feature films, fiction and documentaries) made in Iberoamerica. Numerous titles, directors and producers from around the world, national and international actors and actresses, and a wide schedule of activities meet annually in Punta del Este, the main Uruguayan seaside resort. LatinUy, a classic meeting point for cultural exchange between filmmakers and movie enthusiasts, awards several prizes, both for short and feature films in competition, both from the jury and the audience.

1.- The 16th International Latin Film Festival of Uruguay, LatinUy, announces the Iberoamerican Short and Feature Films Competition, with the aim of stimulating and disseminating the production of short films from the region and the continent.
2.- Shorts and feature films produced and made in Ibero-American countries, or Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, may participate, even if they have production from other countries outside the continent, but the origin of the project and its realization must be in a Latin American country, or Spain and Portugal. Films of any origin, but with a Latin American theme, may also participate.
3.- They must have been made on or after January 1st, 2022 and in the following categories: fiction, documentary and animation. The maximum length accepted per film will be 15 minutes for short films and 100 minutes for feature films. The works may not have been screened in previous editions of the festival and priority will be given to those that are national or regional premieres.
4.- The films may have been produced in any film or digital format, but must be submitted for exhibition in the following formats: File: H264, stereo, 1920x1080 or similar (MKV, MP4, AVI).
5.- In the case of works that are not originally in Spanish, they must come with embedded subtitles in Spanish or accompanied by SRT file with the time code to be translated into Spanish (EXCLUDING REQUIREMENT).
6.- The deadline for the reception of materials is October 4th, 2024.
7.- An international jury of six members will discern the awards in the different categories, and its decision will be final.
8.- The festival will try to provide facilities for the presence of the filmmakers of the selected short films during the festival, but the acceptance of the work does not imply the granting of an invitation with airfare and lodging, which must be paid by the participant.
9.- The inscription of the film in the festival implies the tacit acceptance of these rules. Any unforeseen event not established in these Rules and Regulations, or arising during the Festival, will be interpreted and resolved solely and exclusively by the Organizing Committee, and will not give rise to any subsequent claim. THE FESTIVAL DOES NOT PAY EXHIBITION FEES. It is a purely cultural event and counts with the help of several volunteers.
