Important: All winners will be officially announced during the Gala Awards Ceremony in Barcelona, Spain, on Saturday, October 4, 2025. No winners will be revealed beforehand, as we are committed to maintaining fairness and professionalism. Every nominated film deserves equal anticipation, and we want to preserve the excitement for all filmmakers.
Additionally, five Honorable Mentions will be announced at the end of the ceremony—reserved for exceptional films that stood out to our jury.
Please note: The Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony is a ticketed event. Attendance is not required to win. If you are selected as a winner and cannot attend, we will ship your trophy and certificate to you.
We will try to arrange a small number of complimentary seats (around 10–15) for the Awards Ceremony only — without access to the dinner or shows. However, this is very unlikely to happen. Some years we’ve managed it, others not, so please don’t count on it.
We look forward to celebrating your creativity and passion with you in person!

Importante: Todos los ganadores se anunciarán oficialmente durante la Gala de Entrega de Premios en Barcelona, España, el sábado 4 de octubre de 2025. Ningún ganador será revelado con antelación, ya que estamos comprometidos con mantener la equidad y el profesionalismo. Cada película nominada merece la misma expectación, y queremos preservar la emoción para todos los cineastas.
Además, se anunciarán cinco Menciones Honoríficas al final de la ceremonia, reservadas para películas excepcionales que hayan destacado ante nuestro jurado.
Nota: La Cena de Gala y la Ceremonia de Entrega de Premios es un evento con entrada de pago. No es necesario asistir para ganar. Si eres seleccionado como ganador y no puedes asistir, te enviaremos tu trofeo y certificado por correo.
Intentaremos disponer de un pequeño número de asientos gratuitos (aproximadamente entre 10 y 15) solo para la ceremonia de premios —sin acceso a la cena ni a los espectáculos—. Sin embargo, es muy poco probable que esto suceda. Algunos años lo hemos logrado, otros no, así que no contéis con ello.
¡Esperamos poder celebrar vuestra creatividad y pasión junto a vosotros en persona!
