Venice TV Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Venice TV Award is a television prize bestowed each year in September. Two weeks after the Venice International Film Festival, a team of jurors from around the world meet in Venice to select the winners of 19 categories. Prerequisite for a nomination is that the production was first broadcast on a television station. The exception is the New Talent category. This award also highlights that the TV industry is a $260 billion industry worldwide with around 38,500 TV channels in operation and is supported by egta, ACT (Association of Commercial TV) and IMZ (International Music + Media Centre). This award brings national and international recognition for quality content.[1]
