Kids Jury

The ZFF Kids Jury is formed new each year. The members view the competition entries and present the Little Golden Eye to the winning film.

Registration

Is your child a real cinema and film fan that would like nothing more than to watch two or three films in a row? Then they can apply to become a member of our Kids Jury and decide which film wins the Little Golden Eye. Participation is aimed at 10 to 13 years old.

Official jury members are entrusted with an important task. On the weekend of the 26th September until 27 September. September of the 22. Zurich Film Festival, your child will watch all the films competing for the Little Golden Eye award. Under professional guidance, the jury will discuss and evaluate each film and ultimately select the winning film. 

We'd like you to tell us exactly why your child should be offered a place on the ZFF Kids Jury and what excites them most about cinema. Let your imagination run wild and send us a short video, song, text, poem, dance or photo etc. Watching/reading/listening should not take us more than one minute. 

Send us your child's creative application to [email protected] with the subject line «Application for Kids Jury».

The children's jury is limited to 30 places. You can register your child from July 1, 2026 - the registration deadline is August 31, 2026.
