The Rose d'Or (English: Golden Rose) is a television award. It has been given annually in spring since 1961 at the Festival Rose d'Or. Since 2004, the festival has been held in Lucerne, Switzerland. Before 2004 the festival was held in Montreux, Switzerland, thus the Golden Rose of Montreux.

The Awards are focused on entertainment-based programming, thus excluding dramas, documentaries and other genres usually more celebrated at other awards ceremonies.

Format

There are currently eight different categories at the festival, from 2004 each having its own Golden Rose award. Previously, only one overall programme won the Golden Rose, with other individual category winners being awarded Silver and Bronze Roses. The categories are: Comedy, Sitcom, Soap (Popular Drama), Reality Show, Variety, Music, Game Show, Arts & Specials. There are also individual prizes for Best Female & Male Comedian, Best Sitcom Actress & Actor, Best Soap Actress & Actor, Best Game Show Host. There is also a Press Prize for most innovative programme, and a Special Prize for best Arts & Specials programme. Each category is judged by a jury of international producers and broadcasters.
