Rose d'Or Light Entertainment Festival
Lucerne, Switzerland
Notes
- The Golden Rose was set up in 1961 to meet the need for national broadcasters to bolster up their summer schedules with inexpensive, but high quality, programs.
- As the festival grew, program swaps ceased to be viable and the Videokiosk took its place alongside the competition. This original concept of the Golden Rose - since widely copied - quickly became the entertainment program market. With more than 40 countries taking part each year, the festival is a unique meeting place for the world-wide format business (game shows, new program formulae, sitcoms, etc.) and for sales of music productions and variety documentaries (arts & specials). (from the festival's web site, 1998)
- Up to 2003 the festival took place in Montreux, nowadays it is celebrated in the city of Lucerne.

Producer's Prize
- The arrival of independent producers on the scene considerably changed the face of variety, leading, in turn, to the creation of a Producer's Prize (1984). As close collaboration between national broadcasters, private broadcasters and independent producers grew, it was decided, in 1993, to open up the Contest to all. (from the festival's web site, 2000)
