The Videomedeja Festival Awards were established to recognize and promote outstanding artistic achievements in the fields of video art and new media, as well as authors whose work pushes the boundaries of contemporary visual expression. Special emphasis is placed on the experimental, exploratory, and innovative character of the works, rather than on their level of production polish.
One best work is selected in each of the following categories: Screenings and Media Projects.
Winners in the competitive program are selected by a three-member jury composed of distinguished international experts, while the Bogdanka Poznanović Award is granted by a three-member selection committee.
The competitive program consists of an exhibition of selected single-channel or multi-channel, interactive or hybrid media projects presented in virtual or physical space, as well as screenings of selected single-channel art works of various genres, forms, and styles that combine image and sound.
Works included in the selection must not be older than two years.

The festival’s highest recognition for outstanding contribution to the development of the festival and the field of new media.
The recognition is awarded to artists for their artistic oeuvre and lasting impact, as well as to institutions, organizations, and donors for their long-term support and contribution. With this recognition, we celebrate artists and cultural actors who expand the boundaries of perception, creating works and initiatives that inspire new generations and shape the future of visual arts.
The Videomedeja Golden Recognition is not part of the festival’s competitive program.
Awards are publicly announced on the final day of the festival as part of the official festival program, where audiences have the opportunity to meet the authors and view the awarded works. Following the ceremony, information about the awarded works is published on Videomedeja’s official platforms, mailing list, and in the media.
Publicity includes:
– publication and promotion of awarded works and authors in electronic and print media
– promotion on the festival’s websites and social media platforms
– information about awarded works is distributed to more than 10,000 domestic and international media contacts via email.
The archive contains a selection of awarded works and authors from previous editions of the Videomedeja Festival, serving as a testament to continuity, artistic quality, and the development of new media.
