PREAMBLE

programme-makers and editors to find the winner within their genre.
These unique juries assess and evaluate all competition entries in a public debate and then
vote for the best.
This makes PRIX EUROPA a first-class training platform, a multinational market place
as well as a forum reliably highlighting the latest media trends and championing quality
broadcasting for all Europeans.
