The ground-breaking children’s drama series First Day, supported by the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF), has won an International Kids Emmy Award.

The appetite for Australian children’s television content overseas has remained strong during the Covid-19 pandemic, with shows from the ACTF’s award-winning catalogue picked up right across the globe during 2021.

It’s been a great year for Australian children’s shows making their mark around the world.

The ACTF is privileged to be able to export some of the best Australian kids shows to the world, with a raft of deals finalised since the beginning of the year and with many more to be finalised soon.

Depictions of diversity, friendship and resilience have made Hardball a hit with Australian teachers and students alike. Now its officially time to get excited for Series 2!
