DDG members and VEVAM affiliates have voted for their favorite productions from 2025, and the nominees for the 2026 DDG Awards are now known. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at Boom Chicago, where prizes will be awarded in eleven categories curated by the directors themselves. One of the eleven winners will receive the DDG Grand Prix worth 5,000 euros, funded by the VEVAM Fund. The statuettes were designed by Jeroen Henneman, while the top three nominees and DDG members will receive a personal invitation via email.
