Jean Philip De Tender, deputy director general, EBU said: “For 60 years, the Rose d’Or Awards have been showcasing the very best in Entertainment and Features programming, TV and Audio that truly resonates with audiences worldwide. To win a Rose d’Or is to gain the respect and acclaim of your peers; it’s a signifier of quality; an acknowledgement that your work stands-out and makes a difference.”
Mark Rowland, head of jury said: “The quality and range of entries in 2020 was extraordinary, we received over 700 entries from 30 countries. Every genre from every territory reached new heights. We can’t wait to see what 2021 has in store. The hits that have kept us all enthralled through lockdown now have the chance to win, we know we’ll face some tough choices.”
To mark our 60th year an important new award category joins this year’s line-up: Best News & Current Affairs programme. In response to the breadth of factual entries received in 2020 and to recognise the crucial role played by these programmes and programme makers.
Liz Corbin, head of news, EBU, said: “While the past 18 months have been incredibly challenging for the news industry, they also represent some of our finest moments. News programmes – and programme makers – really matter. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we have relied on them to extract the facts from a sea of misinformation and deliver the news we need to know, while operating in the most difficult conditions. The ‘Best News & Current Affairs’ category is a worthy and exciting addition to the Rose d’Or Awards – I can’t wait to see the results.”
Entries open on Monday 12 July and close on Friday 1 October 2021. All programmes and series that have first aired, anywhere in the world, on a broadcast, streaming, online or mobile platform over the 15 months between 1 July 2020 and 30 September 2021 are eligible.
This year the Rose d’Or Award ceremony will take place as both a digital and live event on Sunday 28 November. Combining a celebration at King’s Place, London with a simultaneous global live stream.
