In the main competition, where the Fethi Kayaalp Award is given as the grand prize, the Madam Melpo Award is presented as the second prize. This year, a total of 11 documentaries, including 1 from Turkey, are competing in the main competition. The only requirement, as in all other categories, is that the films must be ecology-themed. In addition to the €1500 and €1250 prizes, the winners are awarded festival statuettes designed by a different artist each year.
