Some points can be changed and that are relevant to the exhibitors: the exhibition platforms of the shorts selected to participate and the value of the cash prizes.

If restrictions on social gatherings remain, the viewing platforms could be changed, moving public displays to online platforms. Any changes related to this context will be published to all participants and people involved with the Festival.
Any contingency that implies an amendment to the Rules and Regulations, as well as the Festival dates, will be notified to participants and exhibitors of selected short films will be consulted.
