The children's jury of the 6th Michel Kinder- und JugendFilmfest Hamburg (Children's and Youth Film Festival) is complete. The seven young cinephiles from all over Hamburg are spoilt for choice starting on 26th September. They will choose their very own favourite out of ten competing films. What better reward for a children's or youth film than to be appraised by its own target group? Besides prestige, the winner can look forward to receiving the "Michel", endowed with 5,000 euros prize money, donated by the DVD distributor Universal Pictures Germany.

The award that bears a typically Hamburgian name will be presented at the closing event of the Michel Kinder- und JugendFilmfest Hamburg (Children's and Youth Film Festival) on 2nd October 2008 at 4pm in the cinema CinemaxX Dammtor.
