Best Studio

of the Year

If you have recently built a new studio for rental or your own production purpose, whether it is designed for radio, podcasts, video productions, VR/AR or gaming, we want to hear more about how you have kitted it out and what makes it unique enough to merit an award. It could be special fit-outs for different productions or a well-designed studio.

This award will recognise any broadcaster/OTT provider/ content generator/service provider that has undertaken a project in the region that is innovative and forward thinking and clearly makes them a frontrunner in the market.

Systems Integrator

of the Year

This award is only designed to recognise the works of innovative systems integrators who think out-of-the-box and have completed a recent project that is unique in terms of design and deployment. Box shifters need not apply. We will not look at the number of projects undertaken by a systems integrator although this may be considered if the SI is involved in a wide variety of projects that are quite unique from each other.

Streaming Service

of the Year

Traditional broadcasters and OTT platforms are undertaking a number of strategies to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. This may be a commercial, technical or community initiative that is helping them to stand out from the rest with their OTT platform. It could be the innovative content deals you are doing with studios or the deals you are doing with telcos. We’d like to hear from you.
