The festival's main goal 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. During the festival week, several broadcasting relevant special events are held for participants to the larger public together with local institutions and embassies. PRIX EUROPA’s competition is held in several television, radio and online categories. PRIX EUROPA distinguishes itself by its unique juries open to all programme makers across the continent. All competition entries are assessed and evaluated in a public and open debate. This transparent process makes PRIX Europa a first-class training platform and a multinational market place.
