Award of the City of Hof
This prize was first presented in 1986. The prize consists of a sculpture from the catalog of the Hof International Film Festival, an object from the State Technical College for Product Design in Selb, and is dedicated to persons closely connected to Hof and the festival. The awardees are generally not represented with a film in the official festival program during the year the award is presented.
