By awarding the prize the Festival recognizes the most successful and attractive stunts in the male and female categories.
The jury consists of international professionals and experts in their fields – stunt coordinators, most experienced stuntmen and relevant representatives of the movie industry.
With the Pegasus Trophy, we celebrate the immortality of stuntmen.
Pegasus (Greek: Πήγασος, Pḗgasos), a winged horse from Greek mythology, gained immortality and was transformed into a constellation. His wings represent freedom, potential and the ability to rise above earthly limitations, and his connection to the muses and art points to transformation and creativity.
Stuntmen defy (physical) limitations and in their stunts combine skill and the art of movement, transforming themselves from scene to scene, becoming immortal.
We invite all stuntmen and stuntwomen to apply for the selection of the most successful stunt.
The stunt must be part of an audiovisual work that was shown from 2024 to 2026, and it must not have been submitted for the previous Festival edition.
The deadline for submitting stunts is April 13, 2026.
