Considerations for 2022 include the overall quality of the production and storytelling; innovative use of new technologies; overcoming the challenge of COVID; and the long-term impact of new production techniques. The event could be a multi-day tournament or event, a season-long league or a single match, race, contest or competition.

Outstanding Production Achievement - Innovation

Considerations for 2022 include; innovative use of new technologies; the lasting impact of new production techniques; and the benefit to the success of overall production. It will also take into account the pressures and challenges of the coronavirus pandemic and how these were overcome. The innovation could be part of a multi-day tournament or event, a season-long league or a single match, race, contest or competition.
