It’s Broadcast’s fourth set of prestigious television industry awards and is a true showcase event for the sports production and sports broadcast community.

The winners will be revealed on 1 November 2022, at a gala awards dinner at the luxurious surroundings of the London Hilton on Park Lane.

To give you a little assistance with your entries, see the box below, which provides 5 top tips for maximising your chances of going home with an award.

5 tips for entering the Broadcast Sport Awards 2022

1. Keep your entry simple

Use straightforward language and focus on the outstanding elements of your entry that are likely to set it apart from the competition. You want your entry to stand out, so avoid bringing attention to the more mundane, run-of-the-mill aspects, while also avoiding unsubstantiated hyperbole.

2. Create videos to showcase your entry

Firstly, always submit video clips as part of your entry, and secondly, ensure the videos relate directly to what you’ve written in your entry form. Judges are looking to see examples of what you’ve talked about in your entry form and can only judge your entry on the clips you’ve provided.

3. What makes your entry special?

Everyone thinks they deserve to win an award, but not everyone can get across why on their entry forms. Award-winning productions, people and projects are the ones demonstrating a best-of-breeds approach to innovation and creativity that genuinely raises the bar on what’s gone before. Explain why your entry is this special, back this up with relevant video clips, and you’re on your way to being shortlisted.

4. Judges can only judge what’s in front of them

Remember to mention everything you think is relevant in your entry as judges can only judge what they have in front of them.

5. Stick to the word counts and remember the eligibility period

It’s an obvious thing to say, but if your production wasn’t being made during the eligibility period, it won’t be shortlisted. Likewise, the word count is there for a reason – maximise the opportunity to explain the great points about your entry by fully utilsing the space available.
