During FFO, prizes are awarded annually in various competitions. Besides the renowned LOOK! competition , which spotlights visual gems with compelling narratives, we have also organized the COOP! competition for Benelux co-productions since 2022; unique films made possible through international collaboration; and the SOON! competition ; first and second feature films aimed at young adults. Emerging Flemish talent also receives the attention they deserve during The Sabam Pitch for Professionals and the short film competition . The films are each judged by an (international) professional jury—unless otherwise stated—who then awards the prizes.
