SVG Europe is very pleased to announce the names of the sports broadcasting and production projects that have won the Sports TV Awards 2020, sponsored by Canon.
After receiving nominations from all across Europe, covering many different sports and representing sport and media organisations big and small, the judges shortlisted 23 entries across five categories that they felt had helped to push sports television forward within the 2019 calendar year.
Chair of the judges and SVG Europe editorial director Fergal Ringrose, said: We were overwhelmed by the quality and breadth of the submissions for the Sports TV Awards 2020 with entries arriving from many different countries, covering some of the biggest events, but also some unique and very interesting smaller ones.
The level of innovation and ingenuity demonstrated by the entries illustrates how exciting and forward-thinking the sports television industry in Europe continues to be. We would like to congratulate winners, everyone who submitted an entry and of course a special thanks to our Awards sponsor Canon.
Awards were presented for Achievements in Production (two categories), OTT Experience, Sustainability and Diversity. The SVG Europe Sports TV Awards 2020 winners are:
SVG Europe Women Award' for Diversity in Sports TV SVT Sport Gender-equal sports coverage'
The judges said: SVT Sport has made not only a conscious effort to embrace diversity with its network, but has implemented tangible change to an astonishing effect, making it a standout entry in this category. The physical achievement of providing 50/50 representation for both men and women's sport is the target for which all broadcasters should be aiming.
SVG Europe Outstanding OTT Experience DAZN' for Streaming the sports revolution'
The judges felt that: The depth of DAZN's service and its commitment to non-live event programme production in order to make the case for a true OTT sport platform - placed it at the top of this particular field.
One Planet Award for Sustainability in Sports TV Sky Sports #GoZero'
The judges described Sky Sports #GoZero' as, an outstanding entry. One that showcased a clear vision for a sustainable sector that is already having a genuine impact. There was particular praise for the supply chain engagement, the efforts to educate staff and the pragmatic yet ambitious approach.
Outstanding Production Achievement Innovation Sky Sports, Sky Creative Agency, Mark Roberts Motion Control and Dimension Studio for Sky Scope'
The judges said: Combining volumetric capture and replay to great effect under difficult conditions, the judges felt that Sky Scope was one of those innovations that make you wonder how did they do that?' This is definitely the kind of innovation that moves the industry forward.
Outstanding Production Achievement Event World Rugby and IGBS Rugby World Cup Japan 2019'
According to the judges, IGBS and World Rugby produced coverage on a similar scale to other major global sporting events, but with less resources. And they did it during the hurricane season in Japan! By raising production standards to new levels, adding consistency across match coverage and helping to attract the highest ever viewing figures for the tournament, they are a worthy winner of this award.
