German Jury Day for The Immortal Awards Sees 4 Finalists Make It Through

The Immortal Awards returned to Germany last week for the second in-person jury of the year, marking the halfway point in this year’s European jury sessions. 

The day was supported for the second consecutive year by Zauberberg Productions, who played host to a jury from the market’s agency, production and post worlds.

The session saw a shortlist of 21 projects, which scored highest in the first round of online judging, discussed and debated by a jury from the market.

Following an afternoon of free-flowing and thought provoking deliberations as each piece of work was considered, a grand total of four projects made the cut as German Finalists.

The Immortal Awards 2023 German Finalists are:

The four projects will go up against the Finalists from the other European jury days - including the UK, Ireland, France, Netherlands, Spain and the Nordics - as well as the best work from around the region at the European round of judging on Friday, October. 20th. They’ll be competing for a place in the final, global round of judging and ultimately a chance at winning an Immortal Award. To check out all the Local and Regional Immortal Awards Finalists that have already been announced, click here.
