Welcome to the

MIPCOM CANNES Diversify TV Awards

Dedicated to championing and promoting diversity and inclusion in all its forms across the international television industry. 

MIPCOM CANNES announces a pause in the Diversify TV Awards programme for 2025. In consultation with the Diversify TV board, our intent is to bring the awards back in 2026 under a new format, where we plan once again to showcase an official jury selection of the most compelling examples of representation in TV and digital programming from across the globe.

We continue to present inclusivity and representation, including through the Women in Global Entertainment Lunch, the médiaClub’Elles Mentoring, The BIG LGBTQ+ & Ally Dinner and the MIP SDG Award.

MIPCOM Cannes Diversify TV Awards aim to bring attention to deserving programmes of diverse and inclusive backgrounds, spotlighting authentic new and established voices and recognizing positive programming across the year that embraces excellent representation in exemplary shows.
