We present the CIDAUCMYale (Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomia, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and Yale University) Survey (CUYS) for H{alpha}+[NII] 6549, 6584{AA} emission-line galaxies (ELGs) using objective-prism spectra. The most important properties of a catalogue with 427 entries and significant subsets are analysed. The complete sample contains 183 statistically confirmed ELGs in a sky area of 151deg^2^ and redshift up to 0.14. We determine the parameters of the H{alpha} luminosity function using the H{alpha}+[NII] flux directly measured on the ELG spectra in this sample, and the star formation rate density derived is in agreement with values reported in the literature.
