RTS West of England Awards 2021

The RTS West of England Centre has announced its nominations for this year's RTS West of England Awards in association with Evolutions Bristol.

The RTS West of England Awards is the only annual celebration of the region’s creative community and this year the region has again welcomed the work from the RTS Devon and Cornwall centre.

“It’s even more important, this year, to celebrate the extraordinary talents of the television community. The majority of our entries were made during the pandemic and it’s down to the creative problem-solving, ingenuity and sheer hard work of the production teams, that the quality of the entries is so very high”, says Lynn Barlow, RTS West of England Chair and Assistant Vice-Chancellor, Creative and Cultural Industries Engagement, UWE. “Congratulations to all our nominees. We are looking forward to celebrating your success.”

The RTS West of England Awards will take place on Sunday September 26th at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre.
