The prizes will be 1 statuette and a voucher for DCP services for the director's next short film project.

The qualifying jury will be composed of film and audiovisual professionals, and will be announced on the festival website during the month of June.

All the short films, including those that are part of the Andalusian short film showcase, also compete for the audience award for the Feminist Short Film - Diputación de Cádiz.

The winning short films will be announced during the closing ceremony of the V edition of the Generamma Festival.
