Prize honours projects for their degree of innovation, quality of implementation, usability, added value for users, and market potential. In total, 71 projects were submitted across six categories, underlining Austria’s ambition to be a leading location for digital transformation and forward-looking innovation.

Our task at Monte Nero Productions was to design and deliver all moving image content that guided the audience through the evening: opening sequence, category animations, transitions, stings, stage loops, lower thirds, and winner moments — built as a cohesive visual system that supports live timing, stage direction, and the emotional arc of the show. The aim was to create a premium look that feels modern, confident, and celebratory, while staying clear and readable in a live event environment.

The experience was elevated by bespoke music composed by Daniel Stadler, adding a strong rhythm and emotional layer to the ceremony. BBDO Vienna led the organisation and project management, ensuring a smooth production framework and excellent collaboration across all teams.

Our accompanying making-of offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into our day-to-day workflow — and the creative journey from concept to final playout. Many thanks to everyone involved in bringing this show to life.
