Teddy Award is an international film award for films with LGBT topics , presented by an independent jury as an official award of the Berlin International Film Festival ( the Berlinale ) . Here , an " independent jury " implies that its members are not officially selected by the committee of the Berlinale . In the most part , the jury consists of organisers of gay and lesbian film festivals , who view films screened in all sections of the Berlinale . Subsequently , a list of films meeting criteria for LGBT content is selected by the jury , and a 3,000-Euro Teddy is awarded to a feature film , a short film and a documentary . At the 66th Berlin International Film Festival in 2016 , a dedicated " Teddy30 " lineup of classic LGBT-related films was screened as a full program of the festival to celebrate the award 's 30th anniversary
