Two weeks after the Venice Film Festival, international jurors met in Venice for the annual Venice TV Award.The event, which is supported by the Association of Commercial TV [ACT], the European Group of Television Advertising [egta] and the International Music + Media Centre [IMZ], and awards the year’s television masterpieces.
TV programming has always kept us informed, entertained, comforted and connected, but that fact has been even more pronounced over the last turbulent years. TV output, in terms of both the channels themselves and the programmes they deliver, have continued to grow in confidence and quality.

In 2021, works from the United Kingdom were the most successful, winning five Golden Trophies. It’s a Sin, the Channel 4 drama about the lives of three young men who endure the horror of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, as well as the prejudice faced by gay men during that decade, winning in the TV Series category.
Another Channel 4 production, The School That Tried To End Racism, triumphed in the Documentary category, while Best TV Film was awarded to BBC1’s Anthony, a film about how the life of a talented young man could have turned out had he not been murdered in an unprovoked racist attack. Sky won in the Comedy category with Two Weeks To Live and in Light Entertainment with Rob & Romesh Vs.
Globo TV Brazil also won big, with three Gold Medals (Soap Opera, Cross Platform, Branded Entertainment). Proving that great television knows no borders, Gold Trophies and Nominations for excellence went to a spread of 29 different countries.
