AWARDS
The Almeria Western Film Festival is being very careful about selecting the films, either in the section of full-length films or in the section of short films, and about including films in Spanish, either films made in EU and in Ibero-America or national and international premieres.
The winners are going to be chosen from the full-length films, short films and school training that had been previously selected to participate in the Western Competition. Then, the mentioned awards:
