Youth Entertainment Gala Commences in Gera - Children's media event launched in Gera opens its doors

Sick of the boring, adults-only events? The 2023 Golden Sparrow Children's Media Festival is here to save the day! Mark your calendar for International Children's Day, as we're bringing back the fun with the 33rd annual festivities in Gera, Germany!

Kicking things off with style, we've got Norbert Lechner's film "The Secret Floor" as our opening show. Get ready for a magical mystery tour, because this hidden gem is sure to captivate young minds!

But that's not all! Our generous hosts, the good folks at Golden Sparrow Children's Media Foundation, recently received a 75,000 euro funding boost from the state, bumping up their annual support to a cool 285,000 euros! Yehaw, we're talking big bucks for bigger, better kids' media! And who else but our very own Minister-President Mario Voigt (CDU) will be presenting the ceremonious check at the opening! 💸

This year, we've got 32 films and series battling it out across six categories to nab those coveted "Golden Sparrows"! Plus, six interactive and digital media offerings will fight for victory in the "Interactive & Digital Storytelling" category.

So, who gets to decide the winners? None other than a jury of 30 kids aged 9 to 13! Now that's democracy, kids' style! These little critics spend an entire week screening and scoring the competition entries, and the awards will be presented on June 6 in Erfurt.
