Hosted by stand-up comedian Mo Gilligan, the TV Awards, now in their 18th year, formed one of the highlights of this year’s TV Festival calendar, bringing out the hugely talented creatives from both on and off screen.
The winners were voted for by over 150 industry professionals.
Sponsorship at the Festival goes far beyond typical brand ‘badging’, as we seek to create sustainable, mutually beneficial partnerships that enable our sponsors to contribute to and enhance the overall Festival experience while achieving their ROI objectives.
The TV Foundation
In 2019 the TV Festival further expanded its remit as the foremost charity dedicated to supporting the TV industry with the launch of a new division - The TV Foundation.
Alongside our much-coveted existing schemes, The Network and Ones to Watch which have helped over 4000 individuals, the Foundation also supports our new scheme TV PhD, our annual New Voice Awards, our partnerships with industry initiatives and year-round events on topics from bullying to mental health.
We remain committed to tackling the big issues, as well as reaching those who don’t believe a
TV career is possible for them.
The Network is our free entry level scheme which gives people their first taste of the television industry through masterclasses and practical workshops at Edinburgh, covering everything from pitching new formats to commissioners to scripting an episode of Casualty. Entrants are selected, assessed, mentored and trained by top producers and supported year-round with Network at Work placements with broadcasters and indies.
Ones to Watch is the Festival’s senior talent scheme for people with more than three years of professional TV experience, looking to take the next big step in their career. The 30 individuals are assessed by TV professionals and benefit from a full delegate pass and accommodation for the TV Festival, a challenging and unique series of exclusive OTW workshops and masterclasses, year-round events and mentoring.
