These are one of the gold standard awards in our industry and are an important showcase of the extraordinary talent evident across all genres in British television. We have taken on board feedback from the industry following last year’s awards. Our aim, as ever, is to reflect the changing television landscape and to make sure the categories recognise the kinds of programmes and talent that make up today's schedules and the best content in Britain. Following discussions with judges and entering companies we have implemented the following changes: • Updated eligibility period: The eligibility period will now follow the calendar year. For this changeover year entries will be accepted from programmes broadcast between 1 November 2019 and 31 December 2020. Please refer to the Conditions of Entry for further details. Please be aware that in order to accommodate this change we will not be able to allow extensions to the entry deadlines. • Minimum duration: We have introduced a minimum duration of 10 minutes (with the maximum duration still 15 minutes) for all performance categories • Comedy Entertainment: We have introduced a new Comedy Entertainment category alongside the existing Entertainment category. • Allocation of entries: in the genre and writing categories we will now limit the number of entries per category by broadcaster rather than by channel.

To celebrate our anniversary, we held a series of events in the lead-up to the ceremony as part of the Young Muslim Writers Awards Festival. During one of the sessions, we caught up with past winners to learn more about their writing journey. We were heartened to hear about how they had gained confidence B le s s e d from having their voices praised and amplified through the competition – developing confidence is one of the primary goals we set out to achieve. We hope we can continue to inspire young wordsmiths to explore creative writing and to provide a Bakeries platform from which they can showcase their work.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, meanwhile, has demanded a full independent look at political donation laws. Political scientist Bryce Edwards told The AM Show Ardern is correct to conduct some sort of inquiry. "I think it's likely to sink New Zealand First in 2020 and it will dog this Government throughout this year," he said. "It goes to the heart of democracy and the way it affects people's lives.
