RTS Programme Awards 2011 Criteria
Submissions are now invited for the Programme Awards in the categories listed overleaf. All programmes entered should have been first transmitted between the period 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2011. The Awards are for original UK productions (please see the conditions of entry on page 8 for details about international co-productions), with the exception of the International Award.
The Awards will be presented at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London, W1K 7TN on Tuesday 20 March 2012.
The RTS Awards seek to recognise programmes which, in the year in question, have made a material and positive contribution to their genre: either because their originality in form or content has in some way moved the genre on, or perhaps created a new genre; or because their quality has set standards which other programme-makers can learn from and emulate. A long-running programme might meet one or other, or both, of those criteria, although programmes should not receive awards for their long service alone, but for their current contribution. The same criteria – originality, creative risk-taking and standard-setting quality – apply to the performance as well. The judges may also wish to take into account, as evidence of these qualities, the way a programme team has exploited the potential of multi-platform delivery.
