Six decades ago, New York Festivals was founded in New York City, the epicentre of advertising and creative expression. It is a city of icons where creative legends are made, and excellence is prized.
New York festivals’ TV & Film Awards has honoured content in all lengths, genres and platforms and celebrates the exceptional and innovative content being created today on all continents. The competition’s 64-year legacy provides a showcase of outstanding work across all platforms, from broadcast to streaming. Its agenda is simple – to celebrate the achievements of the many talented men and women who make up the worldwide creative community.
The strategic partnership with NAB Show, now in its eleventh year, provides an opportunity to showcase the festival’s winners by having a gala at the premiere event for content professionals in the media, entertainment and technology ecosystem.
