TR23 Awards

As of 2023, in their ninth year, these awards continue to celebrate the contributions of technologists in the community broadcasting sector. The categories for this year’s awards include:

  • Technorama Perpetual Award
  • Technorama Lifetime Technical Contribution
  • Lifetime Technical Contribution to Community Broadcasting

In an industry where many community broadcasters may not fully recognize it, technologists remain the backbone of the sector. Their tireless efforts have been instrumental in nurturing and sustaining community broadcasting in Australia over the past four decades. While these individuals may not always be widely known among community broadcasters, their impact on the sector is undeniable.

Categories

  • Best Technological Contribution to a Community Station
  • Best Technological Innovation for a Community Station

This award recognizes the exceptional contributions of technologists to a single community station. In a way, every technologist could qualify for this honor, as it extends beyond merely keeping a station on the air. It acknowledges sustained contributions and innovative approaches that facilitate the use of technology by broadcasters at their respective stations.

Technologists within the sector consistently exhibit remarkable ingenuity, often achieving the seemingly impossible with limited resources. Unlike commercial endeavors with substantial budgets, community broadcasters often achieve great results on shoestring budgets. This award celebrates not the costliest installations but the most inventive applications of available technology that genuinely enhance the broadcasting experience at their station.
