Vienna — November 4, 2026 — The CIFFT Circuit 2027 is officially accepting entries, inviting tourism brands, destination marketing organizations (DMOs), creative agencies, and production companies to compete for international recognition in one of the leading global competitions dedicated to tourism films and campaigns.

The CIFFT Circuit brings together ten prestigious international awards: the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards (France), New York Festivals TV & Film Awards (USA), US International Awards (USA), Terres Travel Festival (Spain), ART&TUR International Tourism Film Festival (Portugal), Amorgos Tourism Film Festival (Greece), Japan World's Tourism Film Festival (Japan), SILKFEST (Serbia), CHECK-IN – International Hospitality Film Festival (Spain) and Zagreb TourFilm Festival (Croatia).

Each festival evaluates entries through its own international jury. Beyond competing for individual festival awards, winning productions earn points towards the CIFFT Rankings, which recognize the most successful projects and allow participants to benchmark their work against productions from around the world.

The Circuit culminates in the prestigious World Tourism Film Awards, where the top five videos in each Ranking category — City, Region, Country Promotion, Tourism Products, and Tourism Services — are recognized as the World's Best Tourism Films of the Year.

Previous winners include Switzerland Tourism, Go Türkiye, Qatar Tourism, Singapore Tourism Board, Uganda Tourism Board, Visit Portugal, and Tourism Australia, reflecting the international profile of the competition.

The first submission deadline via the CIFFT Entry Service is January 12, 2027. Three additional submission windows will follow, with the final deadline on June 15, 2027, covering six awards. Entrants can also compete for the exclusive CIFFT Tourism Press Award, judged by an international panel of travel journalists, and the GreenWorking Awards, which recognize sustainability-focused messages and responsible production practices.

The CIFFT Circuit is an initiative of the International Committee of Tourism Film Festivals (CIFFT), an affiliate member of UN Tourism, and is supported by the European Travel Commission, the Central America Tourism Agency, and other prominent organizations.
