The Royal Television Society Technology Centre has launched the RTS Technology Awards 2026.
Entries are free and open to all, with eight categories designed to span the full breadth of the industry, from technology and engineering to production environments and everything in between.
The RTS Technology Centre stated that it welcomes entries from anyone working across television, including freelancers, team members, broadcasters, technology suppliers, and production companies. Entries close on 4 September 2026, with the awards ceremony taking place on 22 October 2026.
Nominations are now open and free to submit.
The 2026 awards introduce new categories to reflect the industry's evolving priorities, including recognition for sustainable technology practice and next-generation talent. The Lifetime Achievement Award, selected by the RTS Technology Committee, honours an individual whose career has left a lasting mark on the industry.
Kim Rowell, Chair of the RTS Technology Centre, said: "The RTS Technology Awards exist to shine a light on the remarkable work happening across our industry. From the engineers solving problems no one has solved before, to the teams delivering broadcast experiences at extraordinary scale, these awards are a chance to celebrate what our industry does best."
