201 works are fighting over the edis

A total of 201 works are in the running for the Swiss Edi commissioned and commercial film award this year. The gold, silver and bronze awards go to the three best works in each of the categories "Commercials", "Corporate Films" and "Clips & Trailers". In addition, special Edis are awarded for special achievements in individual film disciplines. In the "Clips & Trailers" category, 43 works are competing for the award, compared to just 28 last year. 45 works have been entered in the "Corporate" category. With 115 "Commercials", the advertising industry is somewhat less strongly represented at the upcoming award ceremony at the end of October than in the past - in 2005, the film award had a record number of 147 commercials out of a total of 225 submissions. Three juries will evaluate the submitted films at the beginning of October. The shortlist will be announced in mid-October. The festive awards ceremony will take place on November 16.
