Cinekid has announced the winners of the 2026 festival awards. The festival runs from 10 to 25 October at venues across the Netherlands.
The organisation published the list of winners of the 2026 Cinekid Awards. The awards are part of the festival for children and young people, which brings together films, television productions and new media.
During the festival, Cinekid organises various competitions and jury programmes. Both professional juries and young viewers play a role. The organisation published the results on its own website.
This year, the festival is taking place at multiple locations in the Netherlands. As a result, Cinekid consists not only of screenings in one city, but also of regional activities for children, families and schools.
The awards give makers of children’s films and youth productions visibility within a sector in which distribution and attention are often spread across many different platforms. For producers, a festival award can contribute to further screenings, discussions with distributors or use in educational programmes.
The announcement is primarily a cultural news event. The awards do not automatically say anything about viewing figures or commercial success. Nor is the selection of winners a review; it is the outcome of the relevant jury and audience procedures.
