It is not necessary for films to deal with ecology or nature or with the relationship of human beings with the environment.

 

You can register by filling in the form below. The deadline to enter is 23 April 2020.

 

Also, film institutions from different countries or regions can also suggest film initiatives that fulfil the requirements to compete for the 2020 FICMEC-Tenerife Film Commission Brote Award for Sustainable Production.

The prize money is 1.500 euros.

 

The requirements that will be taken into account are the sustainable measures or actions taken while on production, especially regarding the following points: responsible location scouting, communication, protecting locations and their socio-environmental surroundings, transport, catering, reducing consumption of materials, re-using and recycling, using electric power efficiently, good practice in the use of water, and environmental monitoring.
