MIPCOM-Diversify TV Awards

The Awards

D.I.M.E.S. proudly partners with the MIPCOM Diversify TV Awards, celebrating groundbreaking content that champions diversity and inclusion in global television.

As a jury member, we honor stories challenging stereotypes and amplifying underrepresented voices. Together, we advocate for systemic change, inspire innovation, and support creators shaping a more inclusive media landscape.

OUR JURY

All programmes submitted to the MIPCOM CANNES Diversify TV Awards will be reviewed by MIP Markets’ Diversity Advisory Board members and a Special Jury of Industry Experts and Advocacy organizations committed to diversity and inclusion in the global media landscape and everywhere.
