You can now submit your short film for the seventeenth edition of Go Short, which takes place from April 7th to 12th, 2026! 

  
This year, we have a new category: **_Expanded Cinema: Music Video Competition and VR/XR_**

  
In addition to the competitions we hold each year (mentioned below), Go Short also offers space for other cinematic formats during the festival. Our Music Video Competition showcases the latest music videos in a venue rarely seen: the cinema. Our XR/VR program explores works that go beyond the flat screen and approach cinema in a three-dimensional reality.

Entry fee is €12.50/€15/€20 per film (early bird/regular/late). For music videos, the entry fee is €7.50 per film.

The festival offers a range of honors like the Go Short Awards (for Best European Short in fiction, documentary, animation), the Best Dutch Short, New Arrivals Award (Student Film), and several audience-based awards—including Youth, Senior, Music Video, and overall Audience Award.

  
For the 2026 Go Short Film Competition, winners receive qualifying status (e.g., for Oscars, BAFTAs, European Film Awards) and festival recognition, but no cash awards are offered.
