The International Television Festival Golden Prague (hereinafter only referred to as ITF GP) aims to contribute to the recognition of music and dance television programmes through competition, professional gatherings, public screenings and a video library.
There is an opportunity to present television programmes whose musical elements consist of compositions from the realm of musicals and pop-music (video clips) in the non-competition part of the festival. The artistic quality of programmes is a condition for their presentation. The management of ITF GP reserves the right to reject a programme that, in ethical or aesthetic terms, may be at variance with the role of public television.
ITF GP, therefore, supports international exchange of programmes. It is a place where programme makers, producers, broadcasters and distributors can come together, and it initiates cooperation between them.
Personal registration: free of charge
Submition of the competition programme: 160 Eur
Submition of the non-competition programme: 23 Eur (if none programme is submitted to the competition) or 16 Eur (if at least one programme is submitted in the competition)
