Due to Covid restrictions, the ceremony for the awards has been transformed into a spectacular virtual event, held in a virtual studio at dock10 and utilising the cutting-edge tech celebrated in the awards.
The Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards 2020 were hosted by comedian Rachel Parris and Broadcast Tech editor Jake Bickerton.
The awards are in their second year and 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 2020 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.
Broadcast Tech editor Jake Bickerton said: "Many thanks to everyone who entered the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards 2020, and a huge congratulations to all the winners, highly commended and shortlisted projects. A big thank you also to all our judges for helping whittle down the incredible creative and technical entries, showcasing the very best of the UK's consistently impressive production, post-production and broadcast sectors, into the eventual winners."
"While we're unable to host a real-life event to celebrate the industry's achievements over the last 12 months, we hope you enjoy the brilliantly conceived virtual studio environment dock10 has created for the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards 2020 ceremony."
"Finally, I want to thank the event organisers and all our sponsors – dock10, Jigsaw24 and HHB Communications – who made the awards possible. We will return again for the third Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards next year when hopefully we’ll all be able to meet again to celebrate as an industry together once more."
