Final Chance to Enter the 2026 Healthy Workplaces Film Award Competition

Filmmakers across Europe are urged to submit their entries for the 2026 Healthy Workplaces Film Award, which has officially opened its call for submissions. This competition, hosted in conjunction with the upcoming Doclisboa festival taking place from 15 to 25 October 2026, seeks to highlight the evolving landscape of work through the lens of documentary filmmaking.

The Healthy Workplaces Film Award aims to celebrate films that provide insight into the lives of workers as they navigate changes in their environments. A prize of €5,000 is available for the winner, alongside support from EU-OSHA for the subtitling of the selected film in multiple languages, ensuring wider accessibility across European audiences.

This initiative is particularly significant as it invites filmmakers to engage with crucial issues surrounding workplace health and safety in a rapidly changing world. As many European workers experience shifts in job structures and demands, the award shines a spotlight on these challenges, urging creative expression that might influence public discourse and policy.

Interested participants should prepare their documentaries by the deadline, which coincides with the start of the Doclisboa festival, thus providing not only recognition but also potential exposure at a prominent cultural event. Detailed submission guidelines and further information can be found on the official EU-OSHA website.

For filmmakers passionate about making a difference, this represents a unique opportunity to contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding workplace health and safety. The fusion of art and advocacy through this award highlights the essential role of storytelling in shaping our understanding of socio-economic changes.
