A total of twenty-three categories are open for applications, including a brand new history category. Previous winners include BBC’s ’Poldark’, RTÉ One’s ‘Love/Hate’ and BBC/RTÉ’s ’The Fall’.
Additional details on the upcoming programme including delegates, registration and ticket information will be announced in early 2017.
Catriona Logan, Festival Director:
“We’re breaking records every year and it’s testament to the explosion of creativity and output in the creative content and broadcast sector in the Celtic regions. Each year the quality and quantity of productions submitted through the Call for Entries gets bigger and better. As a festival, we’re constantly innovating, and it’s exciting to be bringing the 2017 festival to Douglas/Isle of Man for the first time”
