1.1.2007

The classification authority may, upon application, authorise the exhibition of audio-visual programmes to persons who have not attained the age of 18 without prior classification at an event specifically organised for the purpose of exhibiting audio-visual programmes.

The authorisation may be issued for also several events over a fixed term. Necessary terms pertaining to the place and time of the exhibition of audio-visual programmes as well as the age of the viewers may be attached to the authorisation.

The authorisation may be revoked if the authorised person violates the provisions of the Act or the terms of the authorisation or if the content of the audio-visual programmes exhibited gives cause thereto. The authorisation may also be revoked when false information has been given to the classification authority when applying for the authorisation.

An application for authorisation in free form shall be submitted to the Finnish Board of Film Classification. The authorisation is subject to a charge.

A decision by the Finnish Board of Film Classification may be appealed against to the Appeal Board of Film Classification.
