Golden Bell Awards

Golden Bell Awards



The Golden Bell Awards, Taiwan's equivalent of the Emmy Awards, were founded in 1965 with the aim of promoting Taiwanese radio broadcasting and recognizing excellent radio programs. After 1970, the annual awards also started considering television productions.


Currently, the annual presentation ceremonies for television and radio broadcasting awards are held separately in October.


These prestigious awards are one of the three major annual awards presented in Taiwan, along with the Golden Melody Awards for music and the Golden Horse Awards for movies and films.
