1.
The Prix Italia Cross Platform Special Prize is being introduced for the year 2018. This Special Prize, open to every broadcaster member organisation of Prix Italia free of charge, envisages the entry of multimedia projects developed on various platforms and interactive with the audience in a number of different ways. In particular, this year – to mark the 70th Anniversary of its foundation – the Special Prize will be based on the creative use of archive material (be it that of broadcasters, museums, and/or other cultural institutions etc.).
And it is thanks to the creative use of such material that it is today possible to update the past, projecting it towards the future.

The award consists of a prize of Euro 8,450.00 gross (eight thousand four hundred and fifty) offered by Prix Italia to the winning broadcasting member organisation.
3.
The Special Prize is to be awarded by a jury composed of experts, invited by the Prix Italia Secretariat, also on the basis of suggestions received from the radio and television member organisations. The online jury will pre-select a maximum of 7 projects from all the submitted entries and will convene during the course of the Festival to proclaim the winner.
On judging the projects, the jury will take into account the following criteria:
- INNOVATIVE INTERACTION BETWEEN PLATFORMS:
Synergy and interaction between platforms and media.
- OPTIMISING OF ARCHIVES:
Creative use of archive legacy owning cultural value.
- SOCIAL VALUE:
Ability of project to raise awareness and increase the spread of civic values and positive sentiments, such as a sense of belonging, sharing, solidarity, citizenship, etc.
