The Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 金鐘獎; pinyin: Jīnzhōngjiǎng) is an annual Taiwanese television and radio production award presented in October or November each year by the Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development, a division of Taiwan's Ministry of Culture. It is the first radio and television production award in Chinese circulation, founded in 1965, and Taiwan's equivalent to the Emmy Awards. It is also one of the three major annual entertainment and cultural awards presented in Taiwan, along with the Golden Melody Awards for music and the Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards for films.[1] The awards were presented by the Government Information Office until 2011.

Currently, there are two main streams presented at separate ceremonies: Television Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 電視金鐘獎) and Broadcast Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 廣播金鐘獎).

History

When they began the awards only focused on news programs, music shows and advertisements. After five years, however, television programs were also included.[1] The first iterations of the Golden Bell Awards had awards for "Programs Targeting the Mainland."[2]

Popular voting awards were introduced as well at the 57th Golden Bell Awards, where viewers can vote online to decide the winners for the Most Popular Drama Series and Most Popular Variety Show.[4][5]

Public's view

Some argued that nine people voting for the Golden Bell Awards is unfair and biased as they believe that it is a subjective choice made by the judges. Some judges were also questioned by the general public for not being professionals of the television industry.[6][7]
