The 2021 Grierson Awards, in association with All3Media and digital broadcast partner Little Dot Studios, has three new categories for this year’s edition and is now open for entries.
The new categories for the British documentary awards include Best Music Documentary, Best Sports Documentary and Grierson Hero of the Year. Further, the Best Cinema Documentary category is suspended for 2021, while the Natural History category definition has been expanded to include documentaries on the environment.
Entries are now open for the 2021 Grierson Awards through May 28. Entrants will be asked to identify steps that were taken to ensure diversity and inclusion in the making of their film or series. Juries will take into consideration the efforts that have been made to include under-represented groups both on- and off-screen, as well as any themes and narratives that address diversity and inclusion.
