OSTV runs BAFTA awards

Yes, we’re about to launch our very own BAFTA awards and you’re invited to get involved.

Of course, it’s not those other BAFTA awards. It’s not those boring ones we see every year on the telly, the ones that always seem to happen in places like London instead of right here in Dorset. Those BAFTA awards are about the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, but all this is about to change, probably to something like the Best Amazing Fantastic Telly Awards.

This may not be the actual title we use but the point being made here is that our awards are going to be different. They’re going to be less about London and all about Dorset. They’re going to be less about million pound productions and more about creativity and imagination. In other words, they’re going to be lots more fun.

And we won’t be giving the winners a shiny-face-on-a-pole as their prizes. We don’t know what we will be giving but it definitely won’t be a shiny-face-on-a-pole.

How do you get involved? Easy! Register on the OSTV site and we’ll keep you posted with all the details.

Finally, how about giving us some ideas about what we should call the OSTV Awards. The best idea gets to go for a cup of coffee with the OSTV Directors. Now, how cool is that? Well, try getting the big-wigs at BBC to dip into their pockets for something as extravagant as this and you’ll realise just how hospitable we can be here in Dorset.
