International: tve Film Award 2024
What is at issue:
The tve Global Sustainability Film Awards (GSFA) was founded in 2012 by the UK-registered charity tve. The awards are designed to recognize and celebrate the work of filmmakers/corporations and organisations who are using their craft to raise awareness of environmental issues and to inspire people to take action.
The GSFA is now in its 13th year, and it has become one of the most prestigious awards for sustainability films.
tve is a UK-registered charity founded by the United Nations Environment Programme, WWF-UK, and Central Television (now part of ITV) in 1984. Our mission is to use the power of storytelling to drive real world change for a more sustainable future keeping the crucial UN Sustainable Development Goals in mind.
What's happening now:
The tve Global Sustainability Film Awards follows a rigorous and transparent selection process. After the Call for Entries closes on the 15th of September 2024, films entered under each of the categories that meet the submission criteria will be sent to their respective Shortlisting Judging Panel. This panel would carry out the first level of judging, choosing a shortlist of films under each of the six competitive categories. The shortlists will be announced on the 14th of October, 2024 (tentative). A Final Judging Panel will evaluate all the shortlisted entries and choose the winning films for each of the categories. The final winners will be announced at a Awards Ceremony event presented by tve Global Sustainability Film Awards at MayFair Hotel in London on 7th of November 2024 (tentative).
