From 1 March to 30 May 2023, work that has been displayed or broadcast between 1 January 2022 and 30 June 2023 can be submitted online. The shortlist will be judged and published in June. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony during the WOOHW! industry event on 13 September 2023.
All details on registration, the competition regulations and judging will be published from March on www.woohw.ch. Details on the WOOHW! industry event will follow later.
