Catriona Logan, Festival Director, said: We're so happy to be opening the Call for Entries for 2021. After the success of the online awards earlier this year, I know we're all keen to meet again at CMF 2021 in Quimper. We're working towards that and we know, however the awards are presented, there will still be the high-quality programming we've come to expect at Celtic Media Festival. The introduction of 2 new categories represent the evolution in storytelling from the Celtic Nations and Regions and we can't wait to see what they have to offer.
