Launched in 2006 with the goal of hosting a global TV drama festival, Seoul International Drama Awards (SDA) has been successful for the past 7 years and the 8th ceremony will be held in early September.

Seoul International Drama Awards has developed into a worldwide festival thanks to many drama fans’ interest and encouragement and continuous passion and engagement of media professionals around the globe.

Last year, a total of 201 dramas from 45 countries were submitted into the SDA competition. We achieved another record-breaking outcome as we secured high-caliber drama entries from the largest number of countries, including four newcomers UAE, Estonia, Iceland and Qatar.

This year, Seoul International Drama Awards will spend more time and efforts to recognize undiscovered quality TV dramas reflecting various cultures through extensive research and fair competitions.

We look forward to your continuous interest and support to see SDA build a solid ‘Drama Road,’ where the world’s drama fans meet and walk together.

We welcome you to the Seoul International Drama Awards 2013!
