Sixteen South’s ‘Lily’s Driftwood Bay’, the mixed animation children’s series, has won the Prix Jeunesse International Award in the ‘Up to 6 Fiction’ category.

This adds to the series already massive awards haul which includes an IFTA Award, an Irish Animation Award, a British Animation Award, a Broadcast Award, a Parent’s Choice Award and it has also been nominated for a BAFTA, a Bulldog Award, a Chicago International Film and a Television Festival Award.

Over 500 Children’s TV experts had attended the festival week of the world’s leading competition of children and youth TV programmes and watched, discussed and judged outstanding programmes of the last two years.

Set on the fictional, rugged Island of Arranish, ‘Lily’s Driftwood Bay’ is an animation series about a little girl who creates an imaginary world from treasures she finds washed up on the beach. The series received funding from the Northern Ireland Screen Fund supported by Invest NI and part funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

The aim of the Prix Jeunesse Foundation is to promote quality in television for the young worldwide. It wants to bring forward television that enables children to see, hear and express themselves and their culture, and that enhances an awareness and appreciation of other cultures.

The bi-annual festival, the Prix Jeunesse International is the Foundation's main activity. Further activities like the Prix Jeunesse Suitcase, training and global networking make Prix Jeunesse a world-embracing lobby organisation for quality children's media.

‘Lily’s Driftwood Bay’s cast includes Stephen Fry, Peter Mullan, Jane Horrocks and Richard Dormer who join Lily, voiced by local girl Orlagh O’Keefe in her daily adventures on Driftwood Bay.

Sixteen South is in production of series two which launches this year and will see Lily’s character develop and dig deeper into some of the difficult challenges and subjects children face.

‘Lily's Driftwood Bay’ is produced by award winning children's television producers, Belfast based Sixteen South. It is the first international series of its kind to be created and produced completely in Northern Ireland. It has been sold to over 100 countries and airs locally on Nick Jr, Milkshake, RTÉ2, RTÉjr and Netflix. ‘Lily’s Driftwood Bay’ is supported by Northern Ireland Screen.
