Broadcast Engineering 3rd annual EXCELLENCE AWARDS

We're proud to present entries for the 3rd annual Broadcast Engineering Excellence Awards. These awards recognize innovation and quality in the design and construction of broadcast and production facilities. This year's entries cover a wide range of systems integrators, manufacturers and facilities.

And, as before, Broadcast Engineering readers will help select the winners. Here's how you can vote, and win too!

Readers should read each of the entries that appear on the links below. Select your three favorite entries. Then, vote.

When evaluating the facilities, please consider several issues:

  • Originality and innovation of new or existing techniques
  • Complexity of project
  • Presentation, visual attractiveness
  • Unique application of technology
  • Meeting owner/client goals

You can win too!
