, the board that oversees the European Film Awards, has voted to restructure its membership for the 2024 awards cycle.
As part of the plans announced today, the Academy will broaden its governing board to include representatives from 15 defined regions across Europe. Each region will be comprised of a cluster of neighboring countries. The UK and Ireland, for instance, make up one distinct region. Each region will be represented by one official.
Additionally, one current Academy board seat will be made available for what has been described as a transnational ethnic representative, allowing Academy members of either Sámi or Roma heritage to be elected. In mutual agreement, the first mandate for this seat will be for an elected member from the Sámi population. The Academy said this decision was made following extensive discussions with representatives from both populations.
The restructuring will take place in two stages, allowing current board members elected in December 2022 for a two-year stint to finish their mandate. The Academy said today that the changes were made to “reflect the realities of modern Europe and give a fairer and more equal distribution of voices from all over Europe within the board.”
“These changes will make for a more diverse and more democratically representative board to serve the European Film Academy,” said Mike Downey, Chair of the Academy board.
