The City of Salzburg's Screenplay Development Award 2024 goes to UAS employee Mareike Färber for her impressive exposé ‘Bad Bunny’. Out of 11 submissions, her work particularly impressed the jury.

The prize, endowed with 4,000 euros, is awarded by the City of Salzburg together with drehbuchFORUM Wien and offers additional support in the development of the screenplay by dramaturge Bernadette Weigel.
Congratulations to Mareike Färber and a big thank you to the jury, consisting of Lukas V. Rinner, Clara Stern and Beate Thalberg, for their dedicated selection.
The award winner: MultiMediaArt graduate Mareike Färber, born in Kassel, has lived in Austria since 2023 and combines artistic work with teaching activities in the field of film at the Department of Creative Technologies at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.
