ATP Award TV Grand Prix

We established the ATP Awards in 1984 to enhance the social function of production companies and celebrate the passion and spirit driving each and every production staff member. These are Japan’s only television awards in which the year's most outstanding programs are chosen by actual creators?a jury of production company producers and directors. We call for submissions in three genres?drama, documentary, and information/variety?attracting more than 100 entries every year, from which we choose the winners of the Grand Prize, as well as the Awards for Outstanding Achievement and Excellence.
