Since 1988, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, Honorary President of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, is also the President of the Monaco Red Cross. The Festival has therefore become an essential event for the Monaco Red Cross.
This Prize will alternately reward a documentary which best highlights a principle or several principles of international humanitarian law, or a contemporary fiction program that demonstrates at least one of the seven fundamental principles of the Red Cross: Humanity, Impartiality, Independence, Neutrality, Charity, Unity and Universality.
AMADE Prize
Founded in 1963 upon the initiative of Princess Grace of Monaco, AMADE is based on a vision of a world where children, regardless of their social, cultural or religious origins, can live safely and with dignity and respect for their fundamental rights. The vision of a world where every child has the opportunity to fully express their potential.
AMADE's special award is rewarding a televised program that echoes one of AMADE's core missions: protect the most vulnerable children from violence, exploitation and abuse, increase access to education, and increase access to health.
