The BBC and Channel 4 have dominated the shortlist for this year's Promax UK awards with half of the nominations split between them.

In a year that saw a record number of entries - almost 1,200 - the two public service broadcasters secured 97 of 198 nominations. The BBC secured 54 nominations with C4 picking up 43. ITV and Sky weighed in with 24 and 17 respectively.

The awards, which honour excellence within the promos industry as voted for by industry peers, include categories such as best drama promotion, best entertainment or comedy promotion and best factual or factual entertainment promotion.

The panel of industry professionals selected the shortlist last week with six nominations appointed across each of the 33 categories. The BBC will be hoping to repeat the success they enjoyed at the Promax awards in New York last June where they picked up 33 awards and ruled the international categories.

The winners will be announced on 6 November at the Promax awards dinner.
