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 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."
