History of the Geminis?
 The purpose of creating a national television showcase is to assist the industry as a whole in building television audiences and public awareness, as well as an appreciation of Canadian production and talent. The Geminis celebrate excellence in Canadian English-language television, acknowledging our country's triumphs in over 90 award categories, in four gala presentations. Since its first broadcast in 1986, the event has grown in prominence and stature to become one of the most prestigious cultural events in Canada. This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the awards. In January or February of each year, the Gemini Rules and Regulations booklets and the official Gemini Awards Entry Forms are sent to Academy members and related industry people across Canada. Through the Rules and Regulations Guide, developed by the Gemini Rules and Regulations Committee, any Canadian television production meeting the eligibility criteria may be entered for consideration. This year's entry qualifying period is for shows aired between May 1st, 2007 and April 30, 2008. Once a program has been entered it becomes an Official Entry of the Gemini Awards. |
