Central to the festival programme is the competition for several awards: Magdalena for best work of the festival, Golden Bra for best entry in each category and Silver Bra for second best work in selected category (print, outdoor, motion, interactive and experimental media, logotypes, magazine and newspaper design, book design, CD cover design and typography).
The Brief Sponsor's Award is also awarded each year - it is a cash prize by sponsor that does not necessarily have to receive any other award.
The jury consists of a group of internationally acknowledged practitioners, who select and award the best examples of public communication. The competition is open to authors worldwide and takes place at Narodni dom Maribor and at KIBLA Multimedia Centre. Entries are exhibited in galleries in the centre of the town.
