Media-Competence-Prize
Since 2006, FiSH, in collaboration with the Media Authority of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, has been awarding a Media Literacy Award. The Medienkompetenz-Preis MV is dedicated to outstanding projects that implement and promote sustainable and/ or innovative media work with children, teenagers, or adults. The focus is particularly on the pedagogical process – specifically, how the acquisition of media literacy was fostered among the participants. The project outcomes are only considered as supplementary in the evaluation.
All projects from our federal state that were conducted or initiated in 2022/ 2023/ 2024 are eligible. Projects can originate from all areas of media work, and there are no age restrictions.
