The first IMAGINA festival was held in 1981, while the actual name IMAGINA was only introduced in 1986.[5] In 1985, the Prix Pixel-INA awards were created within the framework of the IMAGINA festival. The categories have changed over the years.[6]
In 2000, the festival was sold to the Monte-Carlo television festival, which decided to switch towards a meeting targeting professionals.
