PRIX EUROPA 2020 Latest News!
Each October since 1997, we have had the pleasure of welcoming the makers of Europe’s best digital media, radio- and television productions in Berlin and Potsdam.
The PRIX EUROPA DAYS we did spend together have always been our reward for the long months of preparation beforehand. We did enjoy
- meeting good friends who come every year
- getting to know newcomers, who are curious to join the togetherness of programme colleagues from all over the continent
- listening to the unique professional discussions of the various jury groups
in other words - to be part of a constructive and collective European working experience.
And we have done everything possible to pave the way for this very experience in October 2020, too!!
But the travel restrictions within Europe continue not to be in favour of our hopes and plans.
Many of you have let us know that they are willing to come, and this has been a great encouragement for us – to go on. However, the group of colleagues who are not allowed to travel is increasing day by day - and by October restrictions are likely to have grown.
In consequence we sadly have to say that we can’t hold PRIX EUROPA 2020 as a real-life event.
Our credo has always been to bring ALL our colleagues together, and not to exclude any countries or regions because they are not allowed to travel.
BUT we have found a way of organising the adjudication process to vote@home. This will allow you and us to distinguish and to award the Best European Digital Media, Radio- and Television programmes of the Year 2020. So even though this year and for once we will have to do without the inspirational discussion that are at the core of our competition, you will still be able to participate in PRIX EUROPA 2020.
We will get in touch with the submitters of all nominated programmes very soon to let them know about the registration of jury members, their duties, the voting procedure and further details.
Please understand this decision and trust me, it has not been an easy one for us.
We have to ask you now to cancel your travel plans for Potsdam, and to be ready to vote@home for the best European Digital Media, Radio- and Television productions of the Year 2020!
