A 33-member jury comprised of audience members with an honorary chairman will award the Grand Prix in the New Europe competition. The anniversary edition will introduce a second competition section, Cinderella, comprised of mid-length films.

“The second competition is dedicated to the films that are not long enough to be considered feature films, but not short enough to get at least to the countless festivals of short films.

These films of between 30 and 65 minutes duration are like abandoned Cinderellas that nobody wants. This is why we've decided to dedicate a whole section of the anniversaryFebiofest to them,” said programme director, Hana Cielova.

The 2013 festival will have a special section devoted to films from Finland and will increase the presence of Balkan films in the festival.
