There is great news at Mountainfilm Graz!
For the first time there will be a separate award for young film:

What is the Dachstein – Best Newcomer Award?
A new, additional award for all filmmakers who are currently studying at a higher film school or similar institution or who have completed their studies no more than 12 months before the end of production of their film. They are invited to submit their first film for the Dachstein – Best Newcomer Award.

No matter whether it is a short film, a documentary or a feature-length adventure, the main thing is that it fits into one of the four categories of Mountainfilm Graz:

Alpinism & Expeditions
Sport in Mountains & Nature
Nature & Environment
People & Cultures

The Dachstein – Best Newcomer Award is honoured with a certificate, a trophy in the Mountainfilm Graz design and โ‚ฌ 1,000 prize money!

You are interested or do you know someone who is suitable for this award?

Then submit the production on our website or via the following link by Monday, 7 July 2025, stating whether you would like to take part in the Dachstein – Best Newcomer Award and which film school you are from – and you are already in the selection process!

Every film submitted for the Dachstein – Best Newcomer Award and selected by the preliminary jury also takes part in the general competition of Mountainfilm Graz. So you have the chance to win two prizes at once!
