Monte-Carlo Television Festival

A meeting place for the public, the media and the industry

For several days, Monaco becomes a focal point for the television world. The Festival combines screenings, official ceremonies and moments of reflection on trends in the sector. Come and discover the works in competition, discuss how series are made, and meet the people who imagine, produce and bring them to the screen.

Audience events: signing sessions, backstage and Fan Zone

The Festival cultivates a close relationship with its fans through a series of events held throughout the week:

  • Signing sessions to meet the guest talent,
  • Behind The Scenes conferences to go behind the scenes(writing, production, filming),
  • Screenings and previews to discover the programmes presented at the Festival,
  • A Fan Zone set up close to the red carpet, to take a breather between two highlights.

The Golden Nymph Competition: 4 main categories

At the heart of the Festival, the Golden Nymph Competition highlights an international selection of new programmes. It is structured around four categories:

  1. Fiction: films, mini-series and series intended for international distribution,
  2. Documentaries & News: major reports, docu-series and documentary films,
  3. Digital - new for 2026: content designed for broadcast on YouTube (original digital creation and unscripted digital creation),
  4. Prince Rainier III Special Prize: awarded to the documentary that best addresses environmental issues, in partnership with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

The Nymphe d'Or embodies the artistic and creative recognition accorded to the works and talents honoured. It is inspired by the Nymph of Salmacis, sculpted by Monegasque sculptor François-Joseph Bosio, the original of which is on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

For professionals: Business Forum and networking

The Festival is also an accelerator of connections. Its Business Forum offers themed sessions and networking opportunities, in contact with decision-makers and creators: a format conducive to exchanges, collaborations and the circulation of ideas, in the unique atmosphere of Monaco.
