THE Celtic Media Festival today announced a special online broadcast of its annual Torc Awards for Excellence.
The 2020 Celtic Media Festival was due to take place in Quimper, France, from the 4th-6th of June, but, in line with current restrictions, the event’s ceremonial centrepiece is going virtual. The coveted Torc Awards will be announced live on the Celtic Media Festival Facebook page on Thursday June 11 at 8.05pm.
Celtic Media Festival director, Catriona Logan, says: “We know how disappointed we and you are that the 2020 festival has been cancelled. But before we went into lockdown our juries had begun viewing shortlisted programmes and fortunately technology has allowed us to continue with the judging process for these much-sought-after industry awards.
“We hope everyone will join us online on June 11 to celebrate some amazing work from the Celtic nations and regions, and beyond, over the past year.”
Join us at 8.05pm on June 11 at https://www.facebook.com/celticmediafestival/.
The 2021 Celtic Media Festival will take place in Quimper in Britanny, France, in April.
