The shortlist of entries for the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards 2020 has been announced.

The awards, which are in their second year, celebrate the exceptional teams behind the most outstanding broadcast productions of the past year.

Judged by some of the industry’s biggest names, the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards are presented by Broadcast, the leading title for the broadcast industry.

The awards consist of 25 categories, split into five themes – Creative Excellence; Cloud & Media Management; Sport; Young Talent; and Standout Projects. 

The first year of the awards was held at 8 Northumberland Avenue, London in front of a sold out audience. Due to Covid restrictions, this year’s event will transition to a virtual awards ceremony, to be held in a virtual studio, utilising the cutting edge tech celebrated in the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards. 

Many thanks to our sponsors, Jigsaw24 and HHB, for all their help with the awards this year. 

The full list of shortlisted projects is below, and published at http://broadcasttechawards.co.uk/shortlist-2020/
