Granit – Hof Documentary Film Award
Since 2015, the Hof-based Hermann and Bertl Müller Foundation donates a prize endowed with 7,500 euros for the best German, Austrian or Swiss Documentary feature. The design of the award is created in cooperation with the European Academy for Sculpture in Wunsiedel and is based on a concept by Mohamed Naguib, an award-winning Egyptian sculptor and instructor at the University of Alexandria.
