Founded in 1964, the International Television Festival Golden Prague (ITF Golden Prague) at Municipal House is a competitive annual festival of TV programmes dedicated to classical, dance, jazz and world music. Originally a TV drama festival, Golden Prague added a musical element to its programme in 1974. Since 1993 it has concentrated exclusively on music documentaries and programmes.
Only Prix Italia (established 1949), Monte Carlo and Montreux (both established in 1961) can claim a history longer than the Golden Prague, and thus it is an important date in the TV calendar.
As well as the competition element - the main prize is a sizeable lump sum and attracts something in the region of 100 submitted programmes - there are discussion forums for industry professionals, as well as associated events including an opening concert.
