The prestigious Rose d'Or Awards define the gold standard for excellence and achievement in International TV and Audio programme making."
Mark Rowland, Chair of the 2021 judges, says "Despite the very considerable production challenges faced during the pandemic, we've seen an amazing breadth of subjects and creative treatments - with production standards higher than ever. Congratulations to all the nominees on an amazing achievement."
The winners will be announced in a virtual ceremony on 29th November, presented by Sue Perkins.
