The day-long summit creates an engaging platform for MENA TV, film, new media and radio professionals to discuss and debate the latest industry topics.
The gala awards and dinner ceremony brings together the MENA industry to celebrate organisational and individual excellence in the content production, broadcast, streaming and satellite sectors.
All projects or initiatives that are being submitted for the awards should have been completed between November 2023 and October 2024. Nominations should be submitted online. Please check the nomination guidelines before submitting a nomination.
Best Content Strategy
of the Year
With content being king, all platforms from broadcasters, streaming services, social media platforms as well as content companies are thinking up new ways to create content whether it’s planning originals, co-producing, bringing new content to the market, getting it dubbed, or even, packaging it for international audiences.
With sport being such an important element within broadcast today, we invite entries from all players operating in this space. This is not restricted to broadcasters but also companies and entities that are involved in improving the stadium experience, producing sports content and creating a cutting-edge experience.
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. Who should apply: Broadcasters/ OTT providers/ content aggregators/ content providers and service providers owned by public or private entities who work in a broadcast capacity or provide similar services to broadcasters/telcos etc.
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.
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.
