The award winners of the Science Film Festival 2020 will be announced online in January 2021.

The Science Film Festival presents a wide assortment of films in the following five categories to serve all age groups, but with a focus on content for young audiences. The categories are family edutainment, ecology and environment, natural science, life science and technology, non-verbal and science shorts, culture & History.
