The talent showcase, open to emerging talent of any age, closes on Wednesday 30 April
Talented indivduals wanting to recognised as one of Broadcast’s 2025 Hot Shots have one more week to sumbit their applications.
The Hot Shots emerging talent initiative seeks out the brightest and most promising individuals from across the television industry.
It aims to celebrate people who are excelling early on in their professional lives, as well as those further along who have injected momentum into their careers with significant recent achievements.
We’re looking for people who work in broadcasting, production, post-production and talent management.
We particularly welcome entries that highlight the diverse nature of the industry in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, geography and social background, and we are keen to hear from anyone who has taken a non-traditional route into the sector.
The Hot Shots initiative is open to people of any ages. It was previously only open to those under 30 years of age, but in 2022 the age restriction was removed to recognise that not everyone has equal access to opportunities at a young age.
