EUFCN Location Award

The award for best European filming location

The EUFCN Location Award is the annual prize for European filming locations, organized by EUFCN.

Each year, EUFCN members have the opportunity to submit one location from a film or a TV series shot in their country and released that particular year. In 2020 EUFCN introduces the Location Award Jury, a five-member jury of distinguished professionals that selects the five locations competing for the Award.

In 2024, the competition takes on a new name, reflecting its growing impact: the EUFCN Location Awards.

Five outstanding locations, selected by the Location Awards 2024 Jury, will compete for two distinct awards:

a) The EUFCN Location Award 2024, selected by the Location Award Jury

b) The EUFCN Audience Location Award 2024, selected by the public through online voting
