What happened
EuGFA published the New Frames 2026 shortlist on 6 November. The 21 shortlisted films can be watched on the voting page, and public voting runs from 6 to 14 November inclusive. Winners are announced on 15 November.
The voting page allows one vote per person, confirmed in one browser on one device; a private window or a second browser counts as another device. A confirmed choice cannot be changed, and watching a film does not count as a vote. Extra votes from one school or festival network are held for review rather than discarded. IP addresses and browser details are stored as salted hashes and deleted on 15 December 2026, unless a voting dispute is still open.
Why it matters
For schools and festivals encouraging a group to vote, votes from one network may be held for a person at EuGFA to count or void. The public decides only the €100 Viewers' Favourite. The €500 Grand Prize and €300 Best AI Filmmaking award are jury decisions.
Still open
As of 8 November, the pages give no closing time for voting on 14 November.
