The Royal Television Society, Northern Ireland (RTS NI) is delighted to announce the nominees for this year’s Programme Awards, sponsored by Ka-Boom which will take place in The Mac, Belfast on Thursday 15th November 2018.
Jannine Waddell, MBE, Chair, RTS NI Awards Committee said:
“The RTS NI Programme Awards are an important showcase of the extraordinary talent evident across Northern Ireland’s creative industries. We seek to recognise programmes and people who have made a positive contribution to the sector in terms of originality and quality.
“The standard gets higher each year and in this our fourth year the judges had a challenging task shortlisting the finalists, given the high quality of drama, entertainment, animation and documentaries now being made in this region as well as comedy, news, current affairs, music and interactive content. We look forward to celebrating the very best creative talent in our screen industry at the Awards next month.”
