The festival evolved from a national review of films on environmental protection into an international film competition, which is regularly extended with new additional events, including exhibitions, seminars, workshops, and other. It is worth emphasising that in recent years the Festival has been attended by representatives of German cities co-operating with Nowogard: Heide, Gützkow, and Pasewalk. During “EKOFILM 2004” a photographic competitions will be organised, entitled „Nature creates, man destroys”. It will be addressed to young people and adults living in the Pomerania Euroregion.
