Several specialised film and TV prizes have been launched in Estonia over the years, but the country has lacked a unified annual prize until now.
Two 21-person juries selected the nominees from among a total of 244 persons and teams.
The event is organised with the support of the Estonian Film Institute, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Estonia, the Cultural Endowment of Estonia and the Baltics’ largest private media group Eesti Meedia.
