Industry: The Irish Film & Television Academy Awards are back, on TV3

The Irish Film & Television Academy Awards are back, with two Awards ceremonies in 2015; the IFTA Film & Drama Awards and the IFTA Television Awards. The shows will air on TV3, with coverage of all the excitement, guests, nominees and winners at the ceremony in an exclusive one hour Awards Special. As the Ceremony will not be broadcast Live or as-live, the Awards Special will ensure that the Irish public can join in acknowledging the great work being achieved.

The IFTA Film & Drama Awards ceremony will take place in the Mansion House in Dublin on Sunday 24th May, and will celebrate and honour the very best in Film, Television Drama, Feature Documentary, Live Action Short and Animation.

The IFTA Television Awards ceremony will take place on Saturday 17th October in Dublin, and will celebrate and reward the very best programmes and talent on the small screen.

The call for entries for the IFTA Film & Drama Awards is now open – with full information about categories, important dates and the Rules & Guidelines available here.
