At the Wuerzburg International Film Festival, the audience is the jury. Visitors use their ballots to decide which films will be awarded one of the three coveted audience prizes.
With the audience awards, the Filminitiative Wuerzburg supports filmmakers in gaining attention and recognition for their work. And in the current difficult times, especially for freelance artists, the prize money is also very important. Therefore, the Filminitiative Wuerzburg would like to especially thank the sponsors of the three audience awards.
Competition films & voting
And this is how the voting works: Selected festival films take part in the competition. Visitors of the festival receive a voting card at the entrance to the respective film, on which they can give their verdict – simply by tearing the card at the desired rating
very good | good | so-so | bad
The Film Initiative asks for active participation in the evaluation, so that the final score is determined by as many votes as possible.
