Following a hiatus last year, the Seriencamp Festival Awards 2026 are making a comeback, once again shining a spotlight on outstanding series from around the world. With no fewer than four awards, the festival celebrates the diversity, creativity and quality of contemporary series productions and provides a platform for international highlights and narrative forms.
The programme has something for every narrative form: whilst the Official Competition crowns the best international series of the year, the Short Form Competition focuses on innovative and exciting short series. In addition, two further prizes are awarded, reflecting different perspectives on series quality: The Critics’ Choice Award honours the series selected by critics and industry experts, whilst the Audience Choice Award lets the audience decide for themselves which production is crowned their favourite series.
The winners of the Official Competition and the Short Form Competition will be announced in the coming weeks. At the festival itself, the award-winning series will then be presented through exclusive screenings and celebrated in style.
With the return of the awards, Seriencamp Festival 2026 is sending a clear signal about the importance of serial storytelling and inviting visitors to discover new favourite series, have a say in the decisions, and experience the year’s best productions together.
