Rating process

Audiences can rate all five nominated films from 18 September 2024 until April 2025 on the LUX Rating Platform. Members of the European Parliament will be able to vote via a dedicated rating page of the institution. Ratings can be changed an unlimited number of times until the end of the rating period. Only the final rating will be taken into consideration.

Both the public and Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) can rate for the films online. The film with the highest total score, rated by the public and MEPs (equal rating weight of 50% each), will win the LUX Audience Award. The winning film will be announced at the LUX Audience Award Ceremony in April 2025 in the European Parliament (date to be confirmed).
