For its next edition, the EFAs will also bring back the technical categories of European Sound Designer and European Costume Designer. As with the other tech categories of cinematography, editing, production design and film score, a seven member jury, not the academy as a whole, will vote on the winners.
All other categories, including the top award of Best European Film, will be decided by European Film Academy members.
