They agreed on the following advertising films:
MOBILITY CATEGORY
1st Prize (€3,911): Nikolas Meyberg – Brothers – Lazi Akademie, Germany
2nd Prize (€2,911): Daniel Eceolaza – The Chase – Germany
3rd Prize (€1,911): Magali Herzog and Miguel Schmid – Small Talk – Germany

2nd Prize (€2,911): Timm Völkner – Aura – FABW (Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg), Germany
3rd Prize (€1,911): Benjamin Leichtenstern – Made for Strength – HFF Munich (University of Television and Film), Germany
With one first and one second prize, the Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg was able to snatch two awards. The Beauty was made at the Filmakademie´s Animation Institute, Aura in the study course Motion Design. Moreover, FABW graduate Daniel Steiner makes a memorable appearance as the protagonist in the winning spot Small Talk.
The motor racing story Brothers (1st Prize Mobility Category) convinced the jury:
with its competent execution and great production value. It is well directed, beautifully shot and fast paced, which makes watching it an altogether worthwhile experience.
The jury was also captivated by the social spot The Beauty (1st Prize Classical Category / Other Formats) against the pollution of the oceans:
The film picks up a current issue and conveys it in a very imaginative way, with great storytelling, beautifully crafted animation and a documentary-style voice over that sets you on wrong tracks and works well with the spot´s dystopian vision.

Therefore I am delighted that with the aid of our partner school the NFTS, the award ceremony was held in London for the second time. Of course I am also very grateful to all our supporters, especially Porsche for their long-lasting trust and endorsement.“
