EmailStoryStock and Kerry Film Festival have announced the #MyNameIs Short Documentary Competition. Located in Kerry, Ireland, the festival is looking for submissions of stories centered around a character and introduce their story to the world.
Character is one of the most important aspects of a good video. People like stories about people, and this is why great storytelling focuses on character.
In this competition, stories must be 3 minutes or shorter, and the top tem stories will be selected for screening at the Kerry Film Festival. At the festival a winner will win €1500 with the runner up winning €500.
Submissions are due by July 28th, 2017, and you can read the full competition rules here. Submit your work to the Story Stock site.
