The media can bridge gaps and foster mutual understanding for a common Europe. With the EuroMedia Awards, The European Society for Education and Communication (ESEC) offers an opportunity to bring productions with this connective ambition into the spotlight.

The EuroMedia Awards honour media productions that

• focus on the discourse of European societies;
• relate to European values and topics;
• engender ideas and ambitions in a European public sphere; and
• manifest educational ambition with their qualitative discussions and in-depth analysis.

A number of high-quality educational media products (DVDs, websites, documentary films, TV series, magazines) have received awards since the program's inception in 1995. In 2011, a renowned jury of experts from various European universities will evaluate productions from all over Europe and honour the most outstanding ones with a prize of 6,000 euros in total, as well as grant additional sponsorship awards.
