GTC Awards

How to nominate

Awards for Excellence

Nominations are now closed for the 2020 GTC Awards but you can make a nomination for the 2021 Awards, which will include content transmitted (including on digital channels or online) from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020, with nominations closing at midnight on 7 January 2021. See all the 2020 nominations.

If you see a programme you think worthy of an award click here to make your nomination for the 2021 Awards (only GTC members may make nominations). When nominating for Awards for Excellence, please give as much detail as you can, including, if possible, the name of the cameraman or camera supervisor.

These awards are given specifically for camerawork and not for the production as a whole. Where more than one cameraman has been involved on a production, please clearly indicate the specific episode or sequence or cameraman you are nominating. It will help the Awards Committee if you can include information e.g. title, transmission date, time, channel, production company, and any other details to ease the process of obtaining copies of the programmes for judging.

GTC members can also nominate for these GTC Awards:
