14. EUROPEAN YOUNG AUDIENCE AWARD

14.1 The award is presented to the European director(s) (see 1.6) of a European film that addresses an audience between 12 and 14 years of age.

14.2 Eligible are full-length fiction, animation or documentary films intended for theatrical release which must have had their first official screening (be it at a festival, at a regular cinema or online) between 1 June 2023 and 31 May 2024. Films submitted previously can still be submitted for the Young Audience Award 2024 if they have not been viewed by the respective nomination committee in 2023. The Academy Board has the right to refrain from these rules in exceptional cases.

14.3 The main production country of a film has to be European (see 1.5). Furthermore, the criteria whereby a film qualifies as European based upon the Council of Europe Convention on Cinematographic Co-production (CETS No. 220) (see 2.4) apply.

14.4 Eligible films must fulfil at least one of the following criteria:

– To have been selected for at least two major festivals
(feature film festivals, documentary festivals or children’s and youth film festivals)
– To have been awarded at least at one major festival
(feature film festivals, documentary festivals or children’s and youth film festivals)
– To have been theatrically released in at least two countries or sold for such release
The Academy Board has the right to refrain from this rule in exceptional cases.

14.5 Films must be submitted by their rights-holders and made available for viewing to the nomination committee. The submitted version has to be the original language version with English subtitles (for accessibility reasons this is also mandatory for English-language films).

Submission deadline for young audience films is 31 May 2024.

14.6 A committee of four experts and five representatives of the young audience (recruited from the Consultation Group of the European Film Academy’s European Film Club), each from a different country, nominates three films.

14.7 The three nominations are announced during the Young Audience Film Weekend on 3 November 2024 and are made available for online viewing to a jury of up to 99 young people from all over Europe who vote for the winner.

14.8 The votes are kept by a notary or an auditor. The winner is announced during the European Film Awards Ceremony.
