The young audience will judge The Contest’s approach to the dreams of a child singer, Regret!’s depiction of the consequences of school bullying, and Windstorm’s story of a girl and her horse. Each screening’s jury speaker will transmit the voting results to Erfurt (Germany) via video link, where the winner will be announced at an award ceremony streamed live on their website.
The European Film Academy Young Audience Award is organised and presented by the European Film Academy and EFA Productions, with the support of the Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM).
