“We're delighted to welcome Joanna to Berlin and celebrate her incredible career," said EBU Head of Television and Rose d’Or organizer Jeroen Depraetere.
"We're also pleased to see the number of entries for this year's Rose d'Or was even higher than last year which shows the power of these awards, in their 57th year, to engage the global entertainment community.” he added. "The EBU is proud that once again the Rose d’Or Awards can provide a place where the world's entertainment makers can come together and celebrate their best work.”
Those nominated in each category are invited to attend the Rose d'Or Market Forum – an afternoon of discussions and screenings; giving them a chance to network with programme makers from around the world.
The Rose d'Or Entertainer of The Year award will also be given out in Berlin to recognise one person's achievements in the past 12 months.
