Osallistumisohjeet ja lisätiedot englanniksi

The Camille Awards are organised by the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance (ECSA) and its Film and Audio-Visual Music Committee (FFACE). The Camille Awards are supported by the Creative Europe Programme.

Previously known as Grand Scores, the ECSA European Film Composer Awards have been renamed the Camille Awards as a tribute to Camille Saint-Saëns, the composer of the first music ever composed for a fiction film, namely The Assassination of the Duke of Guise in 1908.

The European Film Composer Awards is an event dedicated to celebrate film music and its composers. Scores from different categories will be awarded during a ceremony in Split (Croatia) on Tuesday 27th September 2022 (TBC). 

The following achievements shall be honoured annually with a Camille Award

1. Best Original Film Score (Award presented for one film score in the respective year.)
2. Best Original Music for a Drama Series (Award presented for one score for a drama series screened in the respective year.)
3. Best Original Score for a Feature Documentary (Award presented for music written directly for a feature documentary in the respective year.)

The Final International Jury is composed of renowned composers.

• Only original scores made specifically for the production are eligible.
