Jury President Wolfgang Jo Huschert: “This year we have an extraordinary number of excellently made films with us.”
32 jury members from Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologne, Hamburg and Vienna traveled to evaluate the submitted films from all over the world.

The jury consists of people who like to travel, as well as the managers of various associations, artists and tourism professionals. The judges from Tunisia and Turkey enriched the jury members with their cultural perspective. From the approximately 90 international entries from 26 countries, the 1.2.3. Award winners evaluated and sought. The big trends of the films this year are the ECO tourism, the topic of sustainability, as well as the instruction Airline Safety Videos.

The jury also surprised the new category “My Hotel Chef” with cinematically very high quality films. The topic “love” was new and very surprising in some films.
