We want to see the best unscripted productions undertaken in the MENA region, whether they be documentaries, game shows or reality TV shows, but they should have been produced and edited by MENA residents (local or expatriate). This award is for the quality of the content submitted.

This award is aimed at acknowledging a specific project that deserves recognition in the market for being unique and taking the industry forward in terms of technology deployment. It needs to be a broadcast-related project but will accommodate traditional as well as new media platforms including Mobile TV, broadband, IPTV, distribution of content across different platforms and so on. The aim is to identify an award-winning project that has had a positive impact on the broadcast industry either within a specific Arab country, regionally or internationally.

Who should apply: Broadcast end users/SIs/web/user generated content players/ content aggregators and distributors or even service providers who work in a broadcast capacity or provide similar services to broadcasters/telcos etc.

Submission should include complete details/case study of the project or unique initiative and why it is unique in the region.

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. The main consideration, however, will be the design and deployment of an innovative or trendsetting project that requires skill to put together. Please ensure that the contact details of the end user are included to verify any claims if this is a self nomination.

Who should apply: Only genuine systems integrators need apply.

Submission should include complete details/case study of a project and why the project is unique, the special challenges under which you worked and how you undertook this project for the client.
