New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards 2016 competition is now open for entries. Since 1957, New York Festival's World's Best TV & Films competition has honoured content in all lengths and forms and continues to celebrate exceptional and innovative programmes being created today on all continents.

“Many awards competitions are national in scope or are by invitation-only or have other restrictions limiting eligibility,” said Rose Anderson, Executive Director of New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards. “Our rules make it clear: one world, one competition, one show.”

New York Festivals responsiveness to world-wide programming trends as well as monitoring creative/technological advancements within the television & film industry prompted Anderson to unveil the following new categories for the 2016 competition: Climate Change & Sustainability and Music were added to Documentary/ Information Program, and Crime Drama was added to Regularly Scheduled Entertainment Program.

New York Festivals continues to expand their Online Programming category roster. Online Music Program was unveiled this year and Online Drama and Online Comedy Program, both launched in 2015, added to the robust number of online categories launched to showcase programming that satisfies the consumer's appetite for easy access to content online.

Last year's competition revealed a powerhouse of categories to recognise creativity from media content creators around the globe including: Mini-Series, Movie Trailer, Culinary Program, Sound Design, and Video Art & Experimental Film and Lifestyle Program.

“New York Festivals is sensitive to the continually evolving programming trends, adding Lifestyle Program and Culinary Program categories showcases content created for this ever-expanding viewership and the Reality TV Drama (Structured and Unstructured) category addresses the explosion of content in the reality TV genre,” said Anderson. “NYF's TV & Film Awards categories mirror the wide spectrum of programming being created across all continents and New York Festivals celebrates and encourages the world's storytellers.”

The 2016 Television & Film Awards gala will take place at the annual NAB Show in Las Vegas on April 19, 2016. This official partnership with NAB Show, now in its sixth year, showcases the competition to more than 103,000 media and entertainment professionals from 164 countries, including 1,614 industry press representatives, and over 1,700 exhibiting companies.

The deadline to enter the 2016 Television & Film Awards competition is October 15, 2015. All entries in the 2016 competition will be judged online and screened by New York Festivals Television & Film Awards Grand Jury of 200-plus producers, directors, writers, and other creative media professionals from around the globe. Award-winning entries will be showcased on the NYF Television & Film Awards website.
