Director Jack Goessens and Producer Reece Cargan with the RTS award for best short form

The RTS Awards recognise and celebrate the best talent, skills and creativity across TV production in 2021. Juries have been meeting for the past two months, with the unenviable task of whittling entries down to a shortlist across 24 categories.

Stephen O’Donnell, Chair of RTS Scotland

“The standard of entries this year has been outstanding, and our jurors have had an incredibly difficult task in creating this impressive shortlist. I’m thrilled that we’ll be celebrating the wealth of TV talent we have here in Scotland at our awards ceremony later this month. Huge congratulations to all the nominees!”
