"Home Sweet Home" competed for the prize along with 2,300 short films from 78 countries in Tampere, which is regarded as one of the most influential indie film festivals.
The Grand Prix has been awarded to Norwegian Pjotr Sapegin for his film "Through My Think Glasses". The jury characterized the clay animation as "skillful and imaginative, a work of art and humanity" and remarked that it "portrays the human nature in a poetic and loving way".
