This award, sponsored by NEP, celebrates a technical operations team member who has gone above and beyond the requirements of their day to day role to make a difference, whether it’s delivering outstanding client service on a particular project or service line, resolving a difficult problem or supporting a colleague or client to help achieve this.

Technical Operations encompasses all levels from junior operators through to technical supervisors and managers working across all broadcast services.  

This generally encompasses OBs/live and non- live studio operations, transmission operations, MCR areas, libraries/dispatch, ingest, data IO and media management operations, editing support, QC, media workflows, onboarding and deliverables.

What the judges are looking for

• A recent example (in the last year) of how and why the individual has made a difference to a client experience or service delivery in the technical operations area. 
• Evidence or outcome in the example that proves there was a positive impact. i.e. positive issue resolution or a client or colleague written testimonial 
• As well as the above examples where the individual has demonstrated that they regularly go above and beyond their role or job description, this can be by way of a supporting letter from their line manager, supervisor or a colleague.
