With the main focus being to give an opportunity to new talents and authors who want to develop horror projects, the creation of this monetary award aims to stimulate the cinematographic and audiovisual production of the genre in Portugal.
The applications for the Best Portuguese Horror Screenplay MOTELX GUIÕES Award took place between March 7th and June 15th, through free submissions on FilmFreeway platform.
