No direct entries are accepted for this award. DOCUMENTARY PROGRAMME GRAND PRIX AWARD CRITERIA 10 report The programmes or reports may be created by minority production units or by general station staff. They may be for prime viewing by minority groups but preference will be given to those programmes which are aimed at a general viewer, thereby leading to better understanding between groups which might otherwise be in conflict or fail in mutual understanding.

By 'minorities', the judges will expect language, colour or cultural minorities but will not rule out other minority groups in society such as the disabled, sexual difference or the aged.

In common with other categories, the judges will be looking for excellent production skills, technical excellence, story quality, storytelling and viewer impact. It would be helpful if the judges could be told about any background to the programme or report and any follow up which was achieved.

MAGAZINE AND NEWS MAGAZINE PROGRAMME

This award, sponsored by SVT Sweden, recognises the qualities of the magazine shows, often news based, which are the backbone of television in the regions.

The content of the programme is open to most genres: daily news programmes, weekly news programmes, or a wide range of feature and specialist programmes, all are welcome. However, the judges have expressed a preference in the past for avoiding 'special' programmes in which a standard magazine programme edition is varied because of an unusual or outstanding news event. We want the programme style which your viewers see every day or every week.

The programme can contain several topics or concentrate on one topic, always provided that it is created in the style of a linked programme and is not in the documentary form.

The content may be news, social issues, political issues, current affairs, lifestyle, sport, culture or arts – or a mixture of all or any of these. The content must be of regional interest.

The judges will seek a strong 'look and feel' to the programme which adds interest for viewers. The judges will expect any interviews to explore and explain the issues well and location reports which are made relevant by intelligent hosting. The programme may be linked in a studio or on location.

Judges will look for good examples of how resources available to television are utilised to make the programme better: camera, sound, video editing, graphics, studio set (if made in a studio), presenter links, personality, interviews, interviewees.

MUSIC PROGRAMME

This category, sponsored by TG4 Ireland, highlights the social value of music and the contribution it makes to regional culture, as expressed in television programmes.

The programmes may be short features, documentaries or coverage of musical performance.

The subject matter is wide. It may be anything from the contribution of individuals to musical

Judges will be seeking an entry which captures their imagination and surprises them. This may be because the story told is so unusual that it is memorable. Or it may be because the treatment is so different from 'everyday' programmes that it stands out as something special. Or perhaps it is a technical advance which can excite others in regional stations?

Perhaps there is the chance to meet some wonderful or unforgettable characters? Perhaps the programme has some special music? Perhaps there is an exciting title sequence? An unusual presenter? A single flash of television brilliance in an otherwise mundane programme? Perhaps the format is new and out of the ordinary? Who knows?

It is something, in short, which makes the entry different to the normal expectations of regional programmes and which makes the judges say: 'Wow!'

RISING STAR AWARD

The Rising Star Award, sponsored by TVR Romania, was created in honour of Vanda Condurache, the inspirational TVR producer, manager and trainer killed on her way to the CIRCOM conference in Bilbao in 2007.

The award is to recognise the excellence of young on-screen television talent and to encourage young professionals to develop their careers in public service television in Europe's regions.

By bringing to wider attention the range and depth of talent in the regions, it seeks to assure young television professionals that regional television can offer scope and fulfilment in their aspirations.

The candidate must be aged 30 or under on 11 March 2016 (and give evidence, if required, of date of birth). He/she must be working full-time in the employ of a regional station which has membership of CIRCOM Regional or as regularly employed freelance for that station.

The type of work undertaken by the entrant can be as reporter, video journalist, or presenter.

The entry form should set out why the candidate should be considered a 'rising star'. This should include a statement by the entrant on what he/she has achieved, testimonies from senior professionals (not necessarily just from the entering station), video evidence of any skills mentioned in the citation. If the candidate has been on a CIRCOM Regional training course, it would help the judges if this could be mentioned.

The judgement will be taken on a mixture of video, text and other information. In particular, the judges reserve the right to ask for further information from any candidate or from those who know the candidate.

INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM

This award, sponsored by the Council of Europe, recognises reports, features, documentaries and other coverage which demonstrate an investigative approach to regional television journalism.
