United Media, the leading media company in Southeast Europe, in collaboration with Nova Broadcasting Group, announced it will host this year’s semi-final judging round in one of the categories for the prestigious International Emmy® Awards. The exclusive event will take place this June in Sofia, Bulgaria.

This marks the fourth consecutive year that United Media – the media arm of United Group, the premier telecom and media provider in the region—has been selected by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to take part in the selection process for the world’s most esteemed television awards.

Following remarkable editions in Dubrovnik, Athens, and Pula, where distinguished directors, producers, actors, and television professionals from around the globe gathered, United Media and Nova Broadcasting Group are now bringing this prestigious event to Bulgaria for the very first time.

For Nova Broadcasting Group, whose unwavering support for Bulgarian film and television production has become its hallmark, hosting the event represents not only an honor but also a significant milestone for the country’s creative industries.

Each summer from June to September, the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences travels to different countries to conduct the semi-final judging in various categories. This is an excellent opportunity to meet key professionals from different countries, share experiences, and make valuable contacts.

This stage is an important step in the process of selecting the nominees for the most coveted awards in the television industry. The winners will be announced on November 24 in New York City.
