FOREWORD Welcome to the 25th Asian Television Awards. As we celebrate the silver anniversary of the Awards, I would like to take the time to congratulate all the winners and nominees. The 25th Asian Television Awards come at a time when Asia — and the rest of the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges posed, the content and broadcast industry has maintained its role in informing, educating, and entertaining their audiences. This is reflected in the volume of entries received by the Awards, which has surpassed last year.
Mr. Lee Keen Whye
Chairman, Asian Television Awards
COVID-19 has also affected how the Awards is presented this year. Having been held successfully in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines, the Awards was originally slated to be held next at Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Unfortunately, lockdowns and travel restrictions across the Asia Pacific have made it logistically impossible to do so for this year’s Awards. This challenge has accelerated our use of state-of-the-art technology, streaming, and social media to create a show without a physical audience and produced across several countries, bringing talents, hosts, and performers from many countries together as one. Keeping to its mission of bringing the Awards close to the television viewer, the Awards will be broadcast on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Weibo, together with a telecast of the Awards proceedings on multiple terrestrial and cable networks across the Asia Pacific, reaching 500 million homes across the region. This has only been made possible with the generous support of our broadcast partner network. The Awards will continue to bring world-class entertainment into many people’s homes during this time with performances from leading talents in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The Show continues to command high participation from leading regional celebrities and talents. This year, in place of our traditional red carpet, more than 30 regional celebrities will make guest appearances in the Show. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our panel of distinguished judges drawn from 11 countries for taking time off their busy schedules to adjudicate the numerous entries. Their commitment and dedication uphold the stature of the Awards. The Asian Television Awards would not have been possible without the support from the numerous broadcasters and production houses, as well as the talent in front of and behind the camera. I would also like to thank all our partners and sponsors for making the Awards Show possible, contributing time, resources, and assistance as we overcome distance, travel restrictions, and lockdowns to make the ATA Show possible. Thank you so much to the team and crew of the Asian Television Awards across Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, China, and Thailand. Without them, the Awards would not have been possible. Finally, I would like to send my warmest congratulations to all the nominees and winners of the 25th Asian Television Awards.
