The objective of the contest is to promote the production of sound designs. The participants will compete in a radio documentary, considered the genre that requires the greatest investigative depth in this medium.
It is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Radio San José, today Radio Camoa, to the 100th anniversary of the Cuban Radio, as well as to the sound producer Mabel Pérez Facenda, with a relevant career in the municipal station, who died on 4 April 2014.

The works in competition can be heard during the months of competition in the El Guamo Contest Telegram group. Users will be able to interact with the filmmakers and leave their comments.
The management of the station, the Provincial Committee of the UNEAC and the UPEC in Mayabeque will designate the jury that will evaluate the works.
They will award a Prize for each specialty and as many mentions as the court considers. In addition, the Grand Prize of the contest and the most popular among the public.
They will also award the Cucumí Prize to the work aimed at boys and girls, which with a high degree of achievement stimulates love for the native and the relationship with its ecosystem.
