Rules

The rules established are valid for all participants of FIVO 2025.

There is no limit to the number of works per author, provided they were created after January 1, 2025.

All pieces submitted to the competition must be original. By signing these legal rules, participants confirm that they hold the authorship and, therefore, the intellectual property rights (or the authorized license for the use of the piece by its owners), as well as the transfer of image rights of any individuals appearing in the work.

In case of breach of authorship, the sole and exclusive person responsible will be the one who submitted the video clip, thereby assuming all consequences arising from any type of claim or legal action. Consequently, the organization is exempt from any conflict arising from the lack of authorship of the submitted works.

Works that have been submitted to previous editions of this Festival will not be selected.

The festival includes four sections:

6.1. Official Section: International music video competition.

6.2. National Showcase: Showcase of national music videos.

6.3. Asturias Section: Competition of music videos made by Asturian directors.

6.4. Music Documentary: Showcase of musical documentaries (short films and feature films).

Awards

7.1. Official Section Award: €1,000 (ONE THOUSAND euros).

7.2. RTPA Award for Best Asturian Music Video: €500 (FIVE HUNDRED euros).
Thanks to the sponsorship of Radiotelevisión del Principado de Asturias (RTPA), the Oviedo International Music Video Festival will grant a cash prize of €500.

To participate in this section, applicants may send their works to fivo.oviedo@gmail.com
