Organizer: The European Parliament & European Film Academy (EFA)
The European Parliament and the European Film Academy (EFA), in partnership with the European Commission and Europa Cinemas, present a newly minted award – the LUX Audience Award.
This new award is built on the LUX Prize, the film prize of the European Parliament established in 2007 as a symbol of the European Parliament’s commitment to culture, and EFA’s People’s Choice Award.
It continues building bridges across Europe, as one of the LUX Prize’s objectives, by shedding light on films that go to the heart of the European public debate.
The award aims at strengthening ties between politics and citizens, by inviting European audiences to become active protagonists by voting on their favourite films.
The winner of the LUX Audience Award will be jointly selected based on the votes from the public and the MEPs (with each of them representing 50%).
The award will eventually be given out at the European Parliament during the LUX Award Ceremony on 28 April 2021, although the format of the event is yet to be confirmed, subject to the global health situation. The winning title will be further adapted for those with visual and hearing impairments, and will also receive promotional support during its worldwide release.
