Publisher’s Welcome
O
ver the course of its history, the Realscreen Awards has evolved to become one of the most recognized and coveted distinctions in the genre. This year drew a record-breaking 593 submissions from 16 countries, reinforcing the awards as a bona fide celebration of excellence in international programming for the non-fiction and unscripted entertainment arena. Thanks to all of the producers and broadcasters who submitted their work for consideration, and enormous thanks to our 95 jury chairs and judges profiled on the next few pages. This is a monumental assignment and we are very grateful for the considerable time they’ve spent screening and thoughtfully scoring the entries. They get bonus points this year for screening during a pandemic! In 2021 we are very pleased to honor two pioneering talents by inducting them into the 2021 Realscreen Hall of Fame. First is Arthur Smith, founder and chairman of A. Smith & Co. Productions and chairman of Tinopolis Group U.S. Since founding A. Smith & Co. in 2000, he has created some of the longest-running and iconic unscripted series in TV history. He’s behind Hell’s Kitchen, Fox’s longest-running reality show, starring Gordon Ramsay; American Ninja Warrior, which just aired a 12th season on NBC, garnering a fourth Primetime
