PRIX EUROPA is the biggest annual trimedial festival and competition in Europe. Its open jurys sample and select the best television-, radio- and internet productions of each year. The festival takes place in the third week of October in Berlin and Potsdam and is hosted by the German broadcaster RBB (Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg).
The competition is held in six television categories (fiction, documentary, current affairs, IRIS multicultural programme, SPOT one-minute films and tv fiction script), two radio categories (drama and documentary) and one internet category. The festival’s main concern is to promote the trademark “Made in Europe” and to reflect the complete spectrum of European productions, to show cross-border programme developments and to be a forum for quality programmes. It offers ample opportunity to its around 1000 annual participants to network with European colleagues, compare notes and take home inspiration and ideas for their own work.
With a total of 78.000 Euros award money PRIX EUROPA is one of the financially best-endowed media competitions in Europe. Each of the thirteen winners gets a taurus trophy, a certificate and 6000 Euros. Films can be entered filmmakers, producers or broadcasters.
