About
With a 48-year legacy, the Banff World Media Festival's prestigious Rockie Awards International Program Competition recognizes excellence in global television, film, podcasts and creator content. Covered by global trade and consumer press, and timed during a key Awards FYC window and nomination voting for the Emmys, the Rockies include entries from up to 50 countries each year, and winners are selected by an international industry jury of 150+ influential senior entertainment and media professionals. The Rockies truly represent the best content in the world. Category winners, including the Grand Jury Prize, and Gala Honours will be announced at a ceremony that will be presented at the Banff World Media Festival in June 2027. Rockie Awards do not only provide recognition for recipients but also present a key marketing and promotion opportunity.
