It’s now December, which means the early bird deadline for the Rockie Awards is around the corner! The Rockie Awards is the world’s biggest program competition that honours the highest quality in television and digital programming. Celebrated at the Banff World Media Festival in June, the Rockie Awards is now accepting submissions across 26 categories. In addition to some of the world’s most critically acclaimed dramas and comedies, each year the Rockie Award nominee roster includes the most thought-provoking documentaries in current affairs and science, inspiring kids and animated material, engaging factual programs such as the best in lifestyle and reality TV, and some of the most innovative web content.

Each year, some of the most prolific content are submitted for consideration where they are viewed by a jury of over 250 professionals working in the global media industry. Last year’s nominees include critically acclaimed hits that gained accolades in their respective local markets like Netflix’s House of Cards, CBS’ The Big Bang Theory, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, BBC America’s Orphan Black, BBC’s Doctor Who, ITV’s Downton Abbey, KBS’ Good Doctor, Rede Rcord’s Pecado Mortal, SVT’s Bron, TVB’s Brother’s Keeper, and Showcase’s Continuum.
