Among other topics, the slogan for the 40th anniversary edition of the festival has been decided: 
public service media – defending democracy together

The crucial role public broadcasters play in these globally diverse times is of utmost importance: to offer a comprehensive, balanced and high-quality programme that is independent of commercial interests or government influence. The PRIX EUROPA Alliance, comprising 24 broadcasting stations across Europe, upholds these values and defends them together with its members.

Don't miss this 40th edition milestone!
From 11-16 October PRIX EUROPA 2026 invites public service programme makers to Berlin to select and honour the best European audio, digital media and video programmes of the Year.
