Broadcast, production and development executive leader for global kids and family audiences // I’m sorry, but I’m unable to accept unsolicited pitches.
It was with great pleasure that I participated as a Juror for the 2024 International Emmy Awards Competition. So many brilliant TV shows from around the world... Such tough choices! I look forward to seeing if my top picks align with others! Thanks to the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for the opportunity.

People are impressed by awards. At the very least many believe someone must be good at something if they have won an award! However, many of the awards in the consumer and business worlds are not as they may first appear.
Perhaps the most aggressive and well-known of the *Iffy* corporate awards schemes in the UK are The "Prestige Awards". They work hard to break away from this image and have plenty of keen buyers who are happy to take the wins and fight their side, but a "vanity scam" of "pay to win" awards is still what it is. That said, I think the word "scam" is a bit of a misnomer. These "pay to win" awards are clearly now part of today's (almost) accepted fake-it-till-you-make-it world. If there's a scam being run there, it's not by those who sell the awards, so much as by those who pay for the award package and pretend that it means something.
Having just been through the film festival application process and circuit I am more than aware that there is a whole series of fake or dodgy festivals out there. I reckon 50% of the festivals on there are simply running to raise money for their organizers and don't give a toss for the #filmmakers. Some don't run at all, but just pretend to. A good chunk of them are clearly "pay to win" with individual categories in such a multitude that you can more or less buy your way into extremely high odds of winning - some of these festivals run as often as once a week! I shit you not...
I'll do a show on dodgy film festivals as part of my Film Pro Productivity & Success podcast. I think I managed to avoid them with The Traveller, but the experience of applying for and communicating with festivals was a particularly "scammy" one.
With all THAT said, what ESPN has been up to since 1997 is a whole new level of #Crazy!
