The Philippines will host the 2nd Southeast Asia Prix Jeunesse (French: Youth Awards) on November 22-24, 2018.
The Prix Jeunesse Foundation is known internationally for advocating excellence in children’s television. Established in Germany in 1964, it has been promoting, celebrating and honoring the highest quality in youth and children’s television.
TV producers dream of bringing home recognition from the Prix Jeunesse Festival because it is among the highest honors in children’s media. It is likened to receiving an award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, more popularly known as an Oscar award, in this case, for outstanding achievement in kids’ TV.
The first Southeast Prix Jeunesse Video Festival for Children was also held in the Philippines. It was a proud moment for Anak TV, which was the convenor of the First Southeast Asia Prix Jeunesse.
All the ASEAN-member countries took part in the Festival that was held at the Manila Peninsula - Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Viet Nam.
Although inspired by the Munich Prix Jeunesse, the SEA PJ will modify some rules of the competition.
For instance, the PRIX JEUNESSE INTERNATIONAL holds the competition ONLY for professionals whose works have been aired either on free TV, cable, digital TV channels, internet or mobile services.
The SEA PJ, on the other hand, welcomed children, amateurs and students to inspire and prepare the future TV producers in crafting excellent video works for children.
This has provided an opportunity for ASEAN children and youth to create video works for themselves, works that mirror their aspirations and desires as well as their pride in family and traditions, which Southeast Asian people hold dear.
Each country sent to the competition their best videos in the 10 categories of the competition.
Each country was tasked to conduct its own national competition to choose the country’s best videos that shall be submitted to Southeast Asia Prix Jeunesse for the international competition.
In the Philippines, the National competition is called SINEBATA. Last year, four Sinebata winners which were fielded at the 1st Southeast Prix Jeunesse won major awards.
It is hoped that this year, our entries to the Southeast Asia prix Jeunesse will shine once again at the Festival in November.
What are the objectives of Sinebata?
Through the video works of the Filipinos - professionals, amateurs and children, which will be shared with the children of Southeast Asia, it is hoped that we can have a better appreciation of each other’s culture and good family traditions that will lead to mutual respect and the attainment of harmony and understanding.
