GMA Network is set to represent the country in the global scene anew as it takes seven out of nine short-listed Philippine entries at the 2024 New York Festivals TV & Film (NYF) Awards. Action-packed Filipino drama series “Black Rider” earns its first-ever international award nomination after being short-listed in the Entertainment Program: Drama category.

GMA Integrated News’ “Sundo: A GMA Integrated News Documentary” represents the Philippines in the News Program: News Documentary/Special category.

GMA Public Affairs’ flagship documentary program “I-Witness,” which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, gets three entries shortlisted in various categories. The first is Howie Severino’s story, “Boat to School,” which is the Philippines’ entry in the Documentary: Heroes category. “Sisid sa Putik (Rise from the Mud),” on the other hand, is competing in the Documentary: Community Portraits category. Capping off the list of I-Witness entries is “Bawat Barya (The Price of Dreams),” which is short-listed in the Documentary: Social Issues category.

The bi-monthly public affairs program “The Atom Araullo Specials” earns back-to-back shortlisted entries. The episodes “Child's Game (Batas Bata)” and “One Deep Breath (Hingang Malalim)” are competing in the Documentary: Social Justice and Documentary: Human Concerns categories, respectively.

At the 2023 New York Festivals TV & Film Awards, GMA Network brought home two Gold and two Bronze medals, as well as five Finalist Certificates.
