The Audience Award is one of the most important awards presented at the festival. Votes and responses
from festival viewers are an important indicator for film producers and distributors of how successful a
film is going to be in distribution in cinemas at home or outside the country.
You have a unique opportunity to rate the films you see at the festival. You will be given a voting ticket at
the entrance of the cinema. After the movie, simply mark the rating you want to give the film by tearing it accordingly.
Then hand the ticket to a hostess on your way out of the theater or put it in the voting box.
At the 58th KVIFF, only feature films from the current festival season are eligible to compete for the
Právo Audience Award. This applies to films shot during the current festival season, i.e., this year or the preceding year.
This move is motivated by our commitment to promote new
films whose creators can benefit from viewers’ recognition much more than the creators of time-proven films.
Older or vintage, often cult films that KVIFF screens every year, usually enjoy steady fanbases and an
accolade like this is far less likely to affect their popularity than in the case of films from the past year.
The movie rating:
- 1 - excellent
- 2 - good
- 3 - average
- 4 - poor
The Voting Rules
- votes may be cast from the first day until the next-to-last day of the festival (usually from Friday to Friday), when voting ends after the final screening of the day (ca. 2 a.m. the following day)

- short films are not eligible for the Audience Award
- results will be published on this website and on the KVIFF.TV
- the Audience Award will be conferred at the festival’s gala closing ceremony
