Those who like to participate in the competition should write a brief film review under their favorite film poster, where they should explain why they voted in favor of this particular film.

There will be selected two authors of the most meaningful reviews, who will receive travel packages to the Berlin International Film Festival "Berlinale" in February 2016. The competition will continue until November 20, 2015.

The EU Delegation will also announce the best film of the festival. The film, which will receive the most comments and "likes" will be selected as the best one.
