Tokyo Drama Awards

About

The awards are held annually as part of the International Drama Festival. The winners are selected firstly by members of the All Nippon Producers Association, then selected by the "screening committee" consisting of newspaper publishers and broadcasters, and finally selected by the "Competition Jury" consisting of key figures.

Dramas are rigorously selected from the viewpoint of "a drama that I, as a Japanese person, would like the world to see", and "a drama that will be accepted and do well throughout the world." More specifically, values are placed on 1) a drama that will represent Japan in terms of quality, 2) a highly entertaining drama, which will do well abroad, and 3) a drama which mirrors Japanese society appropriately.
