Rise Awards return to recognise women in broadcast

The Rise Awards are back for 2022

Rise, the award-winning advocacy group for women in the broadcast media technology sector, has opened submissions for its fourth annual Rise Awards, which will include two new categories this year.

Ally of the Year will honour men who have been supportive of striving to achieve gender diversity, while Business Operations of the Year will celebrate an individual who excels at making sure the workforce and clients are happy and the business is reaching its targets.

The new categories join established categories including Woman of the Year, Rising Star, and Marketer/PR of the Year

Submissions and nominations are encouraged from across the global broadcast media technology audience to showcase talent across the industry whether in a manufacturer, service provider, engineer or broadcaster role. The awards are free to enter and nominations will close on 18 August 2022. The awards will be held in partnership with BT Sport and Timeline on Thursday 10 November at BT Sport Studio.

Entrants can be nominated, or they can nominate themselves. All applications will require statements on the nominee and why they are relevant for the award. The judges, across the categories, are looking for the best demonstration of exceptional achievement, innovation, positive impact, and the ability to fulfil the criteria.

Rise was formed in 2017 to support and promote women working in the non-craft part of the broadcast industry in operations, engineering, sales, marketing and business. Since its conception, Rise has grown to become a global network hosting events at Broadcast Asia, IBC and NAB. In Spring 2019, Rise won the National Women’s Mentoring Award at the National Mentoring Awards.
