ToruńCAMERIMAGE · Music Videos Competition
The best-value music video competition anywhere: entry costs nothing. The 2026 call closed on 31 July and no 2027 call has opened yet, so this is one to diarise for the spring.
A cinematography festival whose music video competition awards a Golden Frog, judged on the camerawork rather than the concept. Entry is free, which is rare at this level.

A new name, and when to check back
The festival was renamed ToruńCAMERIMAGE in May 2026; the Energa sponsor prefix is gone. No 2027 call is open yet. For reference, the 2026 call opened on 26 February 2026, so the spring is when to look.
