New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards 2018 competition is open for entries. The deadline to enter the competition is October 15, 2017.
Since 1957, NYF’s World’s Best TV & Films competition has celebrated content in all lengths and formats and continues to honour exceptional content being created around the globe.
New York Festivals acknowledges the wide range of superlative content being made today. “There are no geographical boundaries for talent and innovation,” said Rose Anderson, VP/Executive Director of NYF Television & Film Awards, “so we have no boundaries on our entry process. We welcome storytelling across all platforms including all genres for all types of audiences”
With the popularity of video streaming and the increase in viewer consumption of short-form digital video, NYF renamed the existing Online group to Digital Short-Form and added 2 new categories as well: Digital Reality TV Drama and Digital Documentary.
