This year’s edition was marked by 888 submissions from 42 countries. After passing the approval of a renowned International Jury, 205 productions were selected to receive a shortlist nomination, and 144 were distinguished with prestigious Dolphin Trophies.
In addition to trophies, the winners receive other desirable collector’s pieces, the unique diplomas designed in cooperation with “der Graphischen”, the well-known Viennese art school.
Recognizing the Tourism Industry’s potential regarding corporate communication, the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards has been, since 2010, a member of the International Committee of Tourism Film Festivals (CIFFT) and part of the biggest competition for Travel Video Marketing – the CIFFT Circuit.
As a result, all the Tourism Films Category’s winners have access to the CIFFT Ranking List, the leading global resource for benchmarking creativity and effectiveness in Tourism Communication, which establishes the World’s Best Tourism Films of the year in six thematic categories.
The World’s Tourism Film Awards will officially announce the winners in December, endorsed by UNWTO (World Tourism Organization), ETC (European Travel Commission), CTO (Caribbean Tourism Organization), and CATA (Centro America Tourism Association).
