GENERAL

The Broadcast Digital Awards celebrate the most creative and innovative digital content from across the UK.

The awards celebrate the UK’s very best digital content, creators and channels, with focus on emphasising the context of how shows and channels perform.

The judges assess entries based on their understanding of the industry, as well as the resources available to broadcasters and producers.

The awards are judged by a panel of more than 60 industry experts, handpicked by the Broadcast team. The judges are split into groups, and each allocated a category.

Each judging panel is chaired by a member of the Broadcast editorial team and after debating the merits of each contender, a secret ballot takes place to determine the winner.

Winning a Broadcast Digital Award is a huge accolade, and the awards night is a massive celebration of your success, showcasing your talents in front of more than 600 of your peers and clients.
