Monte-Carlo Television Festival: a must-see event

The Monte-Carlo Television Festival takes place every year in June in the enchanting setting of the Grimaldi Forum, in the Larvotto district.

For five days, the entire audiovisual world ecosystem gathers for the major television event where industry professionals attend conferences on trends and come to discover the world preview of tomorrow's audiovisual programmes.

Under the honorary presidency of Prince Albert II of Monaco, this festival, created in 1961 by Prince Rainier III of Monaco, aims to promote entertainment programmes, documentaries and series and rewards the best international audiovisual productions with the prestigious Golden Nymphs award.

The festival competition

Among an international selection of new programmes presented to the press and professionals, the Golden Nymphs competition is divided into 3 categories:

• Fiction, which includes the prizes for best series, best film, best creation, best actress, best actor and the special jury prize.
• News & Documentaries, which includes the prizes for best news report, best major news report, best documentary film and the special jury prize.
• Prince Rainier III Special Prize, created at the request of Prince Albert, which is awarded to the documentary that best deals with environmental issues.

In addition to these prestigious prizes, there are special prizes such as the Prize of the Monaco Red Cross.

In each category, around ten audiovisual works are included in the official selection.

Each year, the jury is made up of award-winning actors, producers, scriptwriters and distributors.
