Awards were already presented during this festival, albeit not specifically to films produced in Luxembourg.

"[3] For this reason, the Luxembourg State plays a role in the organisation of the film award.

Nominees in the category "Best Artistic Contribution" came from diverse professions, including editing, cinematography and production design, while actors, directors and screenwriters could be nominated in the category "Best Technical Contribution".

In 2007, it was split and awarded for both types of films, before a separate category for "Best Documentary" was introduced for the fourth edition in 2009.

[5] Since the 6th edition in 2014, the jury has been replaced by a vote of the members of the then newly created Luxembourg film academy (D'Filmakademie).

The winners in the different categories are chosen by the members of the Luxembourg film academy.

[1] Since the 7th edition, the organisers make a pre-selection and not every candidate for which an application was submitted and who was eligible was automatically nominated.
