MALDITO FESTIVAL launches the International Videopoetry Contest section with the purpose of making known two disciplines that, either individually or collectively, are much more isolated and forgotten than we would like.
From MALDITO FESTIVAL we intend to vindicate videopoetry as an art that connects people, transmits feelings and stimulates different ways of seeing the world.
All information at www.malditofestival.com
PARTICIPANTS
Anyone can participate, regardless of age, gender, nationality or place of residence.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE
The registration period, as well as the reception of works, is from April 1 to June 30, 2025 at 12 p.m. (Spanish time).
Entries that, after the deadline, have not been registered in their entirety (entry form + file submission) will not be considered for the competition.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE AUTHORS
Both the videopoems selected as finalists and those that are not, will receive an email indicating one or the other condition before September 30, 2025.
The award-winning videopoems will be announced on October 15, 2025 through an email to the winners and the subsequent publication of said list on our website (www.malditofestival.com) and social networks.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE RULES
The entry of a videopoem implies full acceptance of these rules. Non-acceptance implies non-participation.
SCREENING AND AWARDS
The finalist videopoems will be screened in person at the IX Ceremony of Maldito Festival de Videopoesía (November 2025), and on-line the following day through the festival's channel on the streaming platform FILMIN.
The videopoems selected as finalists will become part, together with the rest of the finalist videopoems of previous editions, of their own permanent section called IX Maldito Festival de Videopoesía in the streaming platform FILMIN.
The intellectual property of all the videopoems submitted to the contest remains always in possession of their authors, granting to the organization of Maldito Festival de Videopoesía the authorization to project them in this festival, as well as in the circuit of festivals and informative activities under the name of “MALDITO FESTIVAL”.
The jury appointed for this purpose will award the following cash prizes to the three winning videopoems:
1st Prize: 500€
2nd Prize: 300€
3rd Prize: 200€
Special Audience Award: 200€ (awarded by the audience attending the IX Maldito Videopoetry Festival Ceremony)
