The Awards comprise 40 categories and attracts a multitude of entries of over 1200 annually from a wide range of broadcasters, including free-to-air television stations and pay-TV platforms, as well as many independent production houses in Asia.
Talking about the addition of the new category, Asian Television Awards chief of jury Man Shu Sum said, “Sports programmes have increasingly become more popular in the global market as a result of advanced technology where audiences can watch exhilarating matches and games live with no issues of time difference. With the addition of two new Sports categories, we are hoping to get more high-quality entries and raise the overall standard of sports programming to an even higher level.”
Entries have also been invited in forty categories. All entries have to be of programmes made between 1 June, 2014 and 31 May, 2015. Entries have to be submitted by 30 June. The awards gala will be held on 2 and 3 December in Singapore.

No repeated programmes aired during the period 1 June last year to 31 May this year will be eligible. Proof in the form of a published schedule of the transmission time and date will be required.
There is no limit to the amount of entries that can be submitted. Each entry is a separate submission and requires its own entry form and entry fee.
The categories come under the three groups of Programming, Performance, and Technical & Creative.
