TCC - CortiCinema - U30 (9)

The Social Media category involves public online screenings, for which prior consent must be
given in the entry form.

The competition for this category takes place in two stages:

1. The selected works will be uploaded to the Officina Culturale YouTube channel and made
publicly viewable from 25 November to 12 December 2025. The social media audience
can vote for their favourites by clicking "Like" on the videos. Links to the films will be shared
on the Association's social media channels (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram), and the same
links will be sent to the filmmakers to help them promote their work.

2. At the end of the viewing period, the videos will be removed from the YouTube channel.
Rankings will be determined based on the total number of Likes received.

After the awards are announced, films authorised for public screening will be made available again in a dedicated YouTube playlist. Upon request, videos may be removed.

“Social Media” Category Award
The “Best Social Media Short TCC-U30 2025” will go to the film that receives the highest number
of Likes, calculated as the sum of Likes from all the Association's social media channels (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram).

Each award will be accompanied by an official laurel. The Organisation may also grant Special
Mentions. Results will be announced to participants on 15 December 2025 and published on www.officinaculturale.net.
