The interest in Europe’s largest media competition for quality productions for Television, Radio and Emerging Media has never been larger than in this year, the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. With 665 submissions from 40 countries a new entry record has been reached. The nominations are final: 231 productions will compete against each other from 17 to 24 October at the Haus des Rundfunks in Berlin.

Susanne Hoffmann, the festival director: “The number of submissions has again gone up which proves that despite sinking budgets programmes of outstanding quality are still being produced. Also increasing the share of co-productions where the creative heads in the industry work together defying language and national borders. PRIX EUROPA has developed into a central forum for the personal exchange of Europe’s media makers.”

In eight TV, Radio and Emerging Media categories programme makers face the jury and fight for one of the 13 coveted PRIX EUROPA Trophies that will exchange hands on the 24 October at the festive Prize Giving Ceremony.
