In this Contest the requirements will not be so rigorous as in the platform but some of the characteristics that make these shorts so distinctive and unique will be obligatory.

The short films must last more than 3 minutes and less than 20 minutes (not including the bumpers nor the credits).

Only one actor/actress may appear in each short film. He or she must play, necessarily, a minimum of two characters that have to interact with each other in, at least, 75% of the duration of the short film. Videos of separately monologues will not be admitted (though it should be with different characters) unless they represent only a small portion of the history and are indispensable for its development. Limit does not exist in the number of characters that the actor or actress will play, provided that they should be interrelated. Will not be admitted short films in that the played characters do not interact or in that other actors appear recognizable. It is permitted to use voice-overs of other performers if they are indispensable for the development of the story.

Anyone (whether a natural or a legal person) can participate regardless of their nationality, always provided they are already 18 years old.

If your short is in Spanish, you must subtitle it in English

If your short is in English or any other language, you must subtitle it in Spanish

You have to add two bumper (screens) to your short film that we offer you in the link "Download Bumpers" on the side within this same section http://certamen.doblerol.com/en/. The first one is animated and the second one should remain visible for 2 or 3 seconds. The time of duration of said umpers must not be included in the 3 minutes that must last the short films.

This is just an excerpt of the regulations, carefully read the complete regulations before submitting.
