Storytellers Gala Executive Backgrounder STORYTELLERS GALA EXECUTIVE BACKGROUNDER 1 STORYTELLERS GALA Presented By New York Festivals TV & Film And Radio Awards OUR STORY What is the purpose of awards? They inspire, they encourage, they reward. They help build careers. They can change your life. They mark achievement. They focus attention on creativity. They reward passion, courage and intensity. There are no geographical boundaries for talent, innovation, or creativity so we have no boundaries in our entry process. Our entrants come from hundreds of production companies and networks around the globe and embody the wide spectrum of content being made today with categories recognizing and encouraging the next generation of storytellers and talent. Since 1957, New York Festivals TV & Film Awards has honored content in all lengths and forms and today we celebrate the exceptional and innovative content being created on all continents and seen across all platforms from broadcast to streaming. Many awards competitions are national in scope or are by invitation-only or have other restrictions limiting eligibility. We are truly international in scope and believe that while trends come and go, excellence never goes out of style. RADIO New York Festival’s Radio Awards submissions encompass digital content, podcasts and audiobooks, live events, dramas and documentaries, breaking news coverage, multi-genre music specials, sound art, and promos which engage the curiosity of audiences everywhere. Even as distribution platforms multiply across the airwave spectrum, one thing remains constant: the power of the individual voice. In our ever-changing world, radio is the original social media. There is a universal language of radio which connects us all – giving us the ability to meet directly in each other’s imagination and guided by the textures of sound to understand each other. 2 INAUGURAL STORYTELLERS GALA & NAB SHOW PARTNERSHIP To honor the 2020 TV & Film and Radio medal and trophy winners, we are pleased to announce our inaugural Storytellers Gala will take place at NAB Show on April 21 in Las Vegas.

Our attendees will have access to the multi-day event which is the world’s largest media entertainment marketplace. The awards gala will feature award winning guest presenters from around the globe and will bring a new level of prominence, interest, and recognition for all our participants which will continue in the year ahead. The past ten years have been a decade of transformation on a global scale and NYF’s categories have kept pace with the current state of media, embracing changes in program areas, on-air talent, presentation areas, technology and craft achievement. Our agenda is simple – to celebrate the achievements of the many talented men and women who make up the worldwide creative community. 3 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT HONOREES We made the decision to recognize some of the driving forces in the television and film industry – leaders with a body of work that has made a lasting impression.
