CATEGORIES
The audiovisual works that wish to participate must do so taking into account the nature of Short Film, that is, works with a duration of less than 30 minutes, as well as being framed in one of the following categories:

 Fiction
 Documentary

In both categories, the main theme must include elements linked to the development and sustainability of the planet and its inhabitants as a significant element and with a relevant presence. To do so, the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a guide. It is important to point out that the works are NOT required to explicitly mention the SDGs as such, but to convey with their content the concerns that the SDGs address, and that they cover a wide spectrum related to the field of development, sustainability and the improvement of living conditions.

In order to encourage the participation of non-professionals from the audiovisual world, the works may be recorded using any recording medium, as long as the image quality meets minimum quality standards.

To be accepted in IMAGINA 2030, all the works will have to be uploaded by their creators to the Festhome digital platform, not accepting works sent by other means.
