"Celebration of the Earth" Double Nomination – ELTA (8487) Nominated for Golden Bell Awards Three Years in a Row
August 26, 2020
Extra! Extra! ELTA TV’s original program “Celebration of the Earth” has received double nominations at the 55th Golden Bell Awards — for Best Lifestyle Program and Best Host (Mondo). This marks ELTA TV’s third consecutive year of nominations, following previous honors for “800 Days Around the World” and “Chef’s Alliance.” Such consistent recognition reflects the outstanding production quality of ELTA TV. We will continue to create excellent, entertaining programs — and we invite viewers to cheer us on at the awards ceremony!
Double Nominations for “Celebration of the Earth” — Recognition for ELTA
“Celebration of the Earth” is one of ELTA TV’s signature productions, taking viewers to festivals around the world. The production team has filmed across Taiwan, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, covering events such as the Beitou Hot Spring Festival, Wulai Cherry Blossom Art Festival, Spain’s Haro Wine Battle, Belgium’s Dragon Festival, and Berlin Carnival. During the Dragon Festival shoot, host Mondo bravely entered the crowd armed with a sports camera to capture the most exciting moments (some say it was his determination to win a Golden Bell Award!). Amidst the intense pushing and shoving as participants fought to grab the dragon’s tail (a horsehair charm symbolizing good luck), Mondo — despite his strong physique — was nearly crushed in the front row. He recalled hearing his bones crack before being pulled out by friends just in time. His daring act paid off — both he and the program received Golden Bell nominations, and everyone hopes this will be their year to “ring the bell.”
