International Art Competitions - art contest for artists

31.07.2016

This call for entries is open to short films built up entirely with non-representational imagery. Only Dots & Lines as ends in themselves!
We invite authors to focus on the expressivity of all the constituent elements of audiovisual art in its purest state: Colour, Motion, Form & Sound.

Participation is free

The films must be made entirely with abstract imagery, avoiding representation.
· You can use any technique you want: drawing, video composition, cgi, scratch, op·art, stop·motion, camera·less…
· The Soundtrack cannot feature any words. If you’re using a song, this must be completely instrumental or feature non·narrative voices [that is, no lyrics!].
· Maximum running time is 8 minutes.
· We strongly advise you to enter your film/s in FULL HD / 1080p (1920 x 1080 / 24fps / progressive scan), as we’ll screen all the selected works in that resolution.
· Our preferred formats are .MOV | .MP4. We kindly request not to compress the videos, or use either H264 or x264 (lossless) codecs.

The organisers of Punto y Raya Festival desire to make the results of the competition accessible to as large an audience as possible. To achieve this we are consolidating an international exhibition platform, encompassing -so far- +35 venues over 25 countries.

A compilation featuring the finalist and awarded films under the title “The Best of PyR 2016” will be screened at some of these venues. Therefore, by participating in this call, the author conveys the non-exclusive rights to screen his/her material at those venues, free of geographic restriction.
