The fifth annual EXCELLENCE AWARDS
Mar 1, 2006 12:00 PM, Brad Dick Editorial Director
And the winners are …
With five Excellence Awards under our belt, we've got this process nailed down. This year's 42 entries topped last year's by 25 percent. And, in a time of rapid transition, consolidation and HD conversion, Broadcast Engineering is leading the charge to full digital and HD television.
As always, our readers picked the winners. We believe that because our readers are so involved in the industry, they know what technology works best. That's why they're the judges.
Drum roll, please … The winning entries are featured throughout the next 17 pages.
Please stop by the winners' booths to congratulate them. The 2005 winners of the Broadcast Engineering Excellence Awards are the finest facility installations. Congratulations winners! You're the best.
The names of the voters who were picked to win Broadcast Engineering T-shirts from the random drawing are shown on page 12.
