With joy, we are pleased to announce that 31 music, dance, and theater productions proceed to the second round of the competition of this year's Golden Prague Festival. The awards ceremony for the 60th edition will take place at the New Stage of the National Theatre on Thursday, September 21, 2023.
The list of the 31 nominated films (sorted by the competition numbers) emerged from the first round of evaluation by a five-member international jury. In the second round, which will take place during the festival, the jury will decide on the winners.
The Jury awards:
• The main prize of the Festival, GRAND PRIX GOLDEN PRAGUE, to the winning programme. This prize includes a financial award of EUR 10.000,-
• Three CZECH CRYSTALS to winning programmes in individual categories
• SPECIAL MENTION for extraordinary artistic achievement
Please note that within the scope of the second round, each juror has the right to propose a "wild card" for any single film that didn't make it to the TOP 31 (up to a maximum of five proposed programs). The advancement of such a film to the second round has to be decided by the entire jury. The juror is not obligated to exercise this right.
Even the films that didn't advance to the second round still have a chance to win some of the other awards.
Additional awards:
• The Director General of Czech TV awards the CZECH TELEVISION PRIZE
• Dagmar and Václav Havel's Foundation VIZE 97 awards their PRIZE. It includes a financial award of CZK 50.000,-
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's competition. Congratulations to all the nominees and best of luck!
