On November 9, 2013, the festival will take place for the ninth time at the PMK in Innsbruck. After the approximately ten best entries have been shown, an expert panel chooses the three winning shorts.Film.at http://www.film.at/los_gurkos_kurzfilmwettbewerb "Los Gurkos Kurzfilmwettbewerb"Ö1 "Kurzfilmwettbewerb // A Los Gurkos Short Film Festival" The festival award has symbolic value: the Golden Cucumber (after dice in 2010, cucumber plants in 2011 and graffiti in 2012).
