Neum underwater 2026 – Službena konkurecija

By on 08/08/2026

Neum – After months of careful viewing and evaluation, today we are proud to announce the films selected for the Official Selection of the Neum Underwater Film Festival 2026.

We like to call them our finalists. At the same time, we would like to acknowledge that many outstanding films, although not included in the Official Selection, were equally deserving. We are confident that many of them will receive the recognition and awards they truly deserve at other festivals around the world. Choosing the finalists was an extremely difficult task.

In addition to the Official Selection, the festival will also screen a number of Honorable Mention films as part of the festival’s Off Programme.

Below is the list of films, presented in the order they were submitted, that will compete for this year’s festival awards:

Grand Prix

Audience Award

Best Eco Film

Best Camera

Best Original Music

Best Film Poster Award (new for 2026)

The Best Film Poster Award is open to all submitted films, including those that are not part of the Official Selection.

As a special gesture of appreciation, the festival organizer has provided three nights of hotel accommodation in Neum for the directors of all films selected for the Official Selection.

We warmly congratulate all selected filmmakers and look forward to welcoming you to Neum Underwater Film Festival 2026! Let’s make great film nation in Neum.
