Ars Electronica, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, and OeAD–Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation – have jointly reimagined the prestigious Media Literacy Award (MLA). The MLA honors outstanding and creative teaching projects in media education and digital learning. In today’s increasingly complex educational landscape shaped by the digital age, innovative teaching approaches are more essential than ever. As a competition for contemporary media education, the MLA encourages experimentation with new pedagogical methods and tools, as well as the exploration of uncharted thematic territory.
Submitted projects aim to strengthen media education discourse in schools and promote a critical, creative engagement with all forms of media. The projects focus on collaboration and creative approaches to learning. Submissions came from entire school classes as well as from groups spanning different grades and subject areas.
Eight prizes have been awarded and will be presented to the winners during the MLA Award Ceremony at the Ars Electronica Festival, hosted by Robert Glashüttner (FM4).
The 2025 winning projects can be found here.
