Sony Professional Solutions is sponsoring the Broadcast Audio group of awards. Sony has made several important wins with its broadcast equipment recently. OB-Team, a Norwegian turnkey facility for TV production, has replaced its existing wireless microphone system with the Sony DWX wireless system to “enhance their technical offering within digital audio”. In the UK, Sony specialist dealer Visual Impact Northern Ltd supplied a 22-channel Sony digital radio system to Richard Meredith Broadcast Audio for use on BBC productions including The Apprentice and The Voice.
The Broadcast Audio trophies come in three categories: Team of the Year, Facility of the Year and TV Sound Event of the Year. James Leach, Sony’s European marketing manager, told us: “Sony is delighted to this year sponsor the Pro Sound Awards Broadcast Category, highlighting the importance of professional audio solutions within the Entertainment and News Gathering industry.”
GET INVOLVED! To make that September evening even better, we still need your input. Lobbying is totally free, anyone can make suggestions,
and it’s easy to contribute. l Online at

AWARD CATEGORIES ALL NOMINATIONS should apply to achievements/events between 9 September 2012 and 14 June 2013. Full details of eligibility and more is available at
prosoundawards.com/lobby.
com you will find concise criteria for each award category. Read through the categories and see which one(s) you want to make a pitch for: either nominating yourself, your team, an associate, or just a project or person you have been impressed with and
want to give wider recognition. l Send your short pitch (up to 300 words MAXIMUM) for each award under consideration to prosoundawards@
intentmedia.co.uk. l Provide as much factual information as possible – data and evidence of notable successes are invaluable. Up to three hotlinks to relevant material online can also be provided. And by all means ask your colleagues or industry friends to make their feelings known. The more relevant detail present in your contribution, the easier it will be to sift through the great number of lobbying suggestions we expect to receive. But please – no more than 300 words per entry. Based on the email suggestions, the Pro Sound Awards team will create a list of finalists for each category. This process involves looking at the performance of those nominated companies over the past year, plus the information provided by the lobbying emails. We DON’T base finalist positions on the number of emails we receive about a particular company.
