The RTS has added two sports production and broadcasting categories to this year’s Craft and Design Awards.

The Multi-camera Work - Sport and Tape & Film Editing – Sport awards have been included to recognise the important and valued role that sports programming plays in the UK’s television landscape, the RTS said.

In addition, the Sound – Entertainment & Non Drama category is now open to entries from the sports genre.
