CIRCOM REGIONAL LAUNCHES 20th PRIX FOR EUROPEAN TV PROGRAMMES

prix20_prix_award Twenty successful years of the Prix Circom Regional will be celebrated this summer with a special viewing of some of the "golden" European regional programmes of the past two decades.

Winning and commended entries in the Prix are offered to member broadcasters for a special regional transmission. This means that some programmes, unseen for many years, will be re-run so that today's audiences can share the great moments of European regional television.

The programmes cover key events in Europe's recent history and issues such as people trafficking, smuggling, sporting triumphs, fitness of the elderly, prison care and many others.
These golden programmes are the living history of Europe from our own TV screens and Circom is delighted that its member broadcasters have agreed to make these special viewings possible. The idea was proposed by NRK Norway. Grethe Haaland of NRK and David Lowen, chairman of the Prix, are co-ordinating the selection of the programmes.

Details will be announced at the Circom Regional Conference in Groningen, The Netherlands, in May.

This year's Prix will be judged in Ostrava, Czech Republic - at the invitation of CTV Ostrava - in April and the awards presented at the conference.
