On May 28, 2018, the jury decided on the winners in the each category. The jury members:

• Dr. Florian Aigner, Physicist and author
• Prof. Dr. Agata Ciabattoni, TU Wien
• Prof. Dr. Martin Nöllenburg, TU Wien
• Prof. Dr. Martina Seidl, JKU Linz
• Prof. Dr. Stefan Szeider, (Chair) TU Wien
• Prof. Dr. Alexander Wolff, University Würzburg

The jury had a very difficult task to select the winners among so many good videos, whereas not everyone could be considered for the prizes.
Therefore, the 10 videos from each category that have been shortlisted will be released before the award ceremony on the VCLA YouTube channel.
