Entries have been received from more than 50 countries for the Golden Nymph Awards, which will be presented at the 58th Monte-Carlo Television Festival on June 19, 2018, the organisers say.

Laurent Puons, CEO of Monaco Mediax, organisers of the festival, commented: “I’m delighted that over the course of four years, the number of programmes registered for the Golden Nymphs competition has increased by 27 percent.”

This edition will see 18 countries represented by the 38 nominated programmes, including the US, Canada and Australia.

“In the News category, I also welcome the nomination of programmes from Iran, Malaysia and Qatar, added Puons. “This demonstrates once again that the Golden Nymphs are acknowledged as being one of the most prestigious awards in the world of international television productions.”

Originally created by Prince Rainier III, and now under the Honorary Presidency of Prince Albert, the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, which will take place from June 15 to 19, has, for more than half a century, presented the very best of television from around the world.
