The Vitoria Television Festival FesTVal, which will be held next week, has announced the awards that distinguish the most outstanding programs and series of the season, including “Benidorm Fest 2023”, the Atresmedia series “Amar es forever” and “The promise” of TVE.

The organization of FesTVal has also awarded “Mask singer”, from Atresmedia TV, for surprising the audience with the “most unexpected” faces in a show that is renewed every season.

Other awards go to EiTB Kirolak for his “impeccable” career in which he has demonstrated his professionalism, his concern for the integration of women’s sports and the dissemination of rural reports and Basque roots.

The Mediaset España series “La que se avecina” has also been distinguished for continuing to bet on “well-worked” fun, as has “La promesa”, the daily series on La 1, on TVE, created by Josep Cister and which has managed to “hook the audience with attractive and solid plots”.

In addition to the “Benidorm Fest”, awarded for the second consecutive year, FesTVal highlights “Amar es para siempre”, by Atresmedia TV, a “quality” production, and “Got talent España”, by Mediaset, for making a “fun, dynamic and attractive.”

Local recognition is given to Gorka Ortiz de Urbina, who for two decades has represented the figure of Celedón, the mythical character who announces the Vitoria festivities, for becoming an icon every August 4 that “shines on television exporting a incredible image of the Álava capital to the entire world”.

The acting award this year went to Patrick Criado, the young actor who has demonstrated his “versatility” in numerous series, such as “Red Eagle”, “Money Heist”, “Riot Gear”, “Living Without Permission” and “Sea of ??plastic”.

She is currently receiving good reviews for her role in “Las noches de Tefía”, for which she had to learn to sing and dance and strengthen her Cadiz accent.

The EiTB award will go to Tokikom, the network of 76 local media outlets in Basque which is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Finally, the FesTVal “New Windows” award goes to AC2ALITY. With more than four million followers, these four young women have managed to become the most followed information profile in Europe thanks to their Tik Tok account, counting the news in one minute.
