This award has been initiated and endowed by the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria (FH Oberösterreich) in order to support young talents in the film and media industry and to make a valuable contribution to culture and society:

“Culture is one of the areas that are especially important to us, as it stands for entertainment as much as it stands for reflection and an aesthetic experience. Year after year, Crossing Europe gathers diverse groups of people in Linz and stands for inspiration as well as openness towards all of Europe. We identify with these values, which is why it is with great pleasure that this year for the first time, we are sponsoring the CROSSING EUROPE Award Local Artist – Young Talent.“
