Testing by playing, judging critically: The TOMMI Games Award in Freiburg

In the Haslach district library, everything revolves around current games, apps, and electronic toys from October 27 to November 6, 2026. At the TOMMI Games Award, children and adolescents assume the role of testers and give their votes to digital offerings.

Gaming experience with real participation

Up to 40 new console and computer games as well as electronic toys are waiting for curious testers. The event combines fun with media competence: Young visitors try out the nominated products, compare their impressions, and evaluate what convinces them.

An established media education project

The TOMMI was initiated in 2002 by media expert and children's and youth book author Thomas Feibel. Since 2008, the testing phase takes place in public libraries. The Games Award is one of the important awards for digital games and educational offerings for children and young people in the German-speaking world. In 2026, the award will be presented for the 25th time.

Testing weeks in the Haslach district library

Audience mood between curiosity and discovery spirit
