Organiser timeline: screening and shortlist September 16 to October 5; jury review October 6 to 11; winners 'end week of October 2026', exact date to be confirmed. The organiser's blog gives the deadline as September 15, 2026, 11:59 PM UTC but labels it a Thursday (it was a Tuesday); some third-party guides say September 14. The organiser's date is used. Fourteen winners in total, one prize per person or team. Jury named by the organiser: Edwin Catmull, Phedon Papamichael and Paul W.S. Anderson. This is the largest multi-winner prize pool found.
