The Best Regional TV Programmes and Skills
20th December 2021 - The search to find the finest content and skills in European regional television broadcasting and media delivery, with cash and other awards of more than 40,000 euros, started today.
Entry is free to all 209 member stations in Europe.
The Grand Prix will be “the best of the best” from the content and programme categories of Documentary, Entertainment and Drama, Investigative Journalism, Minorities in Society, Most Original and Innovative, Music and Arts, News Programme, and News Report. In addition, there are skill categories for Young Onscreen Talent and Video Journalism and a new category for 2022 – Digital Multimedia.
Digital Multimedia seeks to highlight and reward how regional broadcasters deliver extra value to viewers and users beyond their traditional linear channels and production methods, using the developing benefits of digital processes in content creation and delivery to various devices, not just television sets.
Another improvement for 2022 is a greater focus on the use of mobile phones in news reporting and other content creation, editing and delivery.
In the category News Programme, entrants will for the first time have the opportunity to enter two programmes. Other categories in which two entries are encouraged are News Report, Young Onscreen Talent, Video Journalism.
