I'm having a debate with a colleague of mine about the following word order:
Should it be: A short horror film competition
Or: A horror short film competition
He says that the first word order means it's a short competition not a short horror film. I disagree and think that his second option is wrong and has the adjectives in the wrong order.
Please can someone advise what is grammatically correct?
