The history of Golden Frog Award reaches the time of Festival's existence in Toruń, a Mediaeval town in Central Poland. According to a legend from Toruń the town was once threatened by thousands of frogs, a real plague. An artist was the only one to save Toruń - he led the frogs out of the town. Every year finest cinematographers from all over the world compete to prove their art is also the one that saves us...

And the Golden Tadpole... Let it grow up and save us in the future...
