The 8th Raigam Tele’es, the annual tele award will be held on May 11, 2012 at the Water’s Edge Colombo.
Eight years ago, Raigam Tele started as an awards ceremony for the tele- darma industry recognizing tele-drama talents and honouring senior artists. With the idea of taking the award ceremony to a different level it was rebranded as branded Raigam Tele.
Covering all sectors of the television media Raigam Tele’es recognizes talents in tele-drama as well as in others areas like sport, children’s political, news, documentary, reality and many other programmes. This promoted Raigam Tele’es to a national tele awards.
Although the coverage of Riagam Tele’es has been broadened, the Raigam Tele’es Secretariat has decided to keep the number of awards to tele drama category unchanged from last year. Accordingly, this year too there will be awards for year’s Best Creative, Acting, Singing and Technical Talents and Multi Episode tele-drama and single episode tele - drama.
Although the most popular TV programme is tele-drama, most TV time is taken up by other different programmes. Identifying this new trend awards will be presented to best efforts in News Reporting, News Reading, Current Affairs, Educational, Children’s Musical, Reality and Political Programmes.
This year, separate awards will be presented for Sinhala, English and Tamil medium under news reading programme presenter categories.
As in the previous years, Most Poplar Tele-Drama, Actress and Actor, will be selected by the “Peoples Jury”. |
