Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Product Innovation Awards?
The PIA program, launched in 2013, recognizes excellence in manufacturing of products to serve the TV/pro video and radio/online audio industries. Winners are selected by a panel of professional users based on the description provided by you via the nomination form. Evaluation criteria include innovation of concept and design, creative use of technology, price value, and suitability for use in a broadcast TV/pro video or broadcast/online radio environment.
Who can enter?
Any company that has released new and/or upgraded hardware, software or other products for these markets since Jan. 1, 2017 (the beginning of the prior full calendar year) may enter.
Why should I enter?
The PIA program is a creative way to shine a bright spotlight on your newest products. To be chosen for the Product Innovation Award means that a panel of working professional engineers and managers in TV, pro video and radio has taken special note of your offering.
Further, every product nominated, whether chosen for an award or not, will be featured in the special Product Innovation Awards Program Guide, to be distributed in digital edition form in early December to readers of TV Technology, Digital Video, Creative Planet Network, Government Video, Video Edge, Radio World and Radio magazine. See last year’s Guide!
