Golden Nymph Award

The Golden Nymph Awards are prestigious accolades conferred during the Monte-Carlo Television Festival's Official Competition. Established in 1961 by Prince Rainier III of Monaco, the festival aims to elevate a burgeoning art form that fosters peace and understanding among diverse cultures. Recipients of the awards receive Golden Nymph statuettes, which are replicas of François Joseph Bosio's sculpture "La nymphe Salmacis."

The festival's Official Competition honors outstanding TV shows and actors from around the world. International juries comprised of industry professionals assess entries in various categories, including TV Series (both Drama and Comedy), Mini-Series, Television Films, News, and International TV Audience Awards. Entries are submitted by global networks, distributors, and production companies, with over 30 countries typically represented each year.

Beyond the Golden Nymph Awards, the festival presents several special prizes. These include the Press Prize of the ICRC, the Prize of the Monaco Red Cross, the AMADE Prize, the SIGNIS Prize, the Special Prize of Prince Rainier III, the Honorary Golden Nymph, and the Crystal Nymph. The Honorary Golden Nymph is awarded to industry professionals who have made exceptional contributions to entertainment, while the Crystal Nymph recognizes actors or actresses for their outstanding career achievements in television.

The Monte-Carlo Television Festival boasts a rich tradition of celebrating excellence in TV programming and acting. With its diverse categories and special prizes, the festival remains committed to promoting quality content and acknowledging the talent that propels the industry.
