The slogan of the Festival, "Share your Vision of the world", calls upon every young director to visualise his or her view on the world and share it with the audience. Each work is unique and addresses a certain category of viewers. It helps make the Festival programme diverse and versatile.

Winners in each category will be awarded diplomas, statuettes and special prizes.

The best film chosen by the audience is awarded a special prize.
