StoryStock 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
