The 62nd edition of the prestigious Rose d’Or, the gold standard in international television awards is now open for entries.
The Rose d’Or has been celebrating the very best in international television and audio programme-making since 1961.
In 2022, the awards received over 750 entries from more than 30 countries and now Europe’s premier TV awards are gearing up for the 62nd extraordinary year.
The Rose d’Or and The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are delighted to announce that David Baddiel – comedian, author, screenwriter and presenter – will be hosting this year’s award ceremony on Sunday 26th November. David’s acclaimed documentary on Holocaust Denial was a finalist for the 2020 Awards.
David says, ‘I’m very much looking forward to hosting The Rose d’Or Awards this year, an award ceremony I’ve revered since 1975 when they gave The Silver Rose for comedy to The Goodies for their Kitten Kong episode (in which a gigantic kitten climbs up London’s Post Office Tower). Looking forward to seeing how this year’s entries match up!’
The 2023 awards are open for entries from July 4 and will close on October 2nd.
Jean Philip De Tender, EBU Deputy DG/Director Media, says, “The Rose d’Or Awards are uniquely special. Every year I’m blown away by game-changing performances, high quality work and the sheer number of submissions. Programmes that make a difference and are talked about years later. We’re also thrilled to have David Baddiel as host – a comedy titan and accomplished author, screenwriter, and television presenter – whose career reflects so many of the categories that make up the splendid diversity of Rose d’Or. I’m very much looking forward to seeing the nominations for this year’s awards.”
