Every year, Cinekid presents a selection of the best Dutch series for children of the past two years with the Best Dutch Series Competition. Cinekid aims to assess the quality of national episodic productions, distinguish exceptional series and promote series for young people. All selected titles stand a chance of being declared winners by a professional jury within two categories: Most Original Series Production and Craftsmanship in a Series Production.

This year’s jury consists of actress Eva Laurenssen, director Jamille van Wijngaarden, and presenter Tirsa With.
