Poster Contest 2023

The official poster of the 25th edition of the Ciudad de Soria International Short Film Festival, aims to stimulate the creativity of artists and designers from all over the world, spreading cinematographic culture among citizens, as well as promoting the dissemination of the image of the contest at a national and international level. 

The International Short Film Contest “CIUDAD DE SORIA” invites those who are interested in participating in the 25th Edition Announcing Poster Contest to present their work, and must comply with the following

Rules and Regulations:

• This is an open contest aimed at designers, artists, and creators of any nationality. Therefore, as many people as are interested may participate in it, individually or as a team, each of them being able to present a maximum of one poster per author.
• The theme will be related to the 25 years of celebration of the Festival, and pictorial, photographic, or digital composition.
• The works presented must include the following text in a clearly visible way: "XXV INTERNATIONAL SHORT SHORT COMPETITION "CIUDAD DE SORIA" From November 10 to 19, 2023."
• The design must have a free space for the subsequent insertion of the logos of collaborating organizations and companies, including the hashtag #soriaesigualdad
• It is important to take into account that the chosen design of the poster is applied to very different advertising formats (roll, billboard, mupis, buses, etc.), so the design must allow its horizontal and vertical adaptation to these formats, being equally identifiable as in the original format.
• Only unpublished works that have not been submitted to other festivals will be admitted to this contest. In the event that images or plagiarism of images from other authors or institutions have been used, the author will be solely responsible for any incident that may occur for these reasons, and the work will be withdrawn immediately.
• Posters with stereotyped images and/or local topics (monuments, traditions…) and/or cinema such as popcorn, movie seats, scissors, etc. will be automatically eliminated.
• One of the challenges of the Soria City Council is to promote feminism in each of the departments, applying the gender perspective in the different projects in order to reverse the data that indicates that women continue to suffer invisibility, discrimination, and violence sexist. To this end, a comprehensive plan has been implemented to help review the path taken in order to improve actions
• Posters with samples of homophobia, racism, machismo, etc., nor with typical and/or stereotyped representations of women or the sexualization of women and their bodies are not allowed
