It is given to producers and directors in the nomination “Best Picture”. At the festival are awarded prizes for the best debut, as well as filmmakers, who made significant contribution to the development of cinema in Poland.

Last year's winner of the festival was the film "Rose" directed by Jan Kidava-Blonsky. It is a love story in the communist Poland in 1967, when the communists persecuted representatives of the "fifth column" - the Jews and the Poles, who were accused of anti-government conspiracy.

One of the most anticipated events of the festival in Gdynia should have been visit of the famous film director Roman Polanski. In Gdynia organizers had planned to give Polanski a prize for his lifetime achievement at the closing ceremony. However, in the last minute the master canceled his visit.
