A significant change in this festival edition is the new additional Grand Prix for documentaries and reportages. Thus, there will be one Grand Prix - white dolphin - each for the best economic film and one for the best documentary/reportage.

"Documentaries are an important part of the festival. We offer 14 different categories, including documentaries on political issues, nature and wildlife, history, science and technology, to name just a few. With the initiative to award a separate Grand Prix for the best documentary of the year, we want to bring this important discipline even more into focus," says festival director Alexander V. Kammel.

Within the categories, important and current topics such as social responsibility, diversity, inclusion and sustainability have been given even more space. Therefore, from now on, the main category "Corporate Films" will include and "Videos", the new additions "Social Responsibility/CSR" and "Environmental Issues and Sustainability" are available as categories.
