The Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 金鐘獎; pinyin: Jīnzhōngjiǎng) is an annual Taiwanese television and radio production award presented in October or November each year by the Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development, a division of Taiwan's Ministry of Culture.
Currently, there are two main streams presented at separate ceremonies: Television Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 電視金鐘獎) and Broadcast Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 廣播金鐘獎).
When they began the awards only focused on news programs, music shows and advertisements.
"[2] Some argued that nine people voting for the Golden Bell Awards is unfair and biased as they believe that it is a subjective choice made by the judges.
Some judges were also questioned by the general public for not being professionals of the television industry.
