Rising Star: The Rising Star award will recognise women who are industry newcomers, with four years or less industry experience, but who are considered as stand-out performers, innovators and emerging leaders in the broadcast and media industry. Sponsored by Avid.
Influencer: This award will go to an individual that creates influence, communities, has a voice in the industry and brings people together. They can work in a sales, marketing, journalism, business or any other role and will be recognised by their peers and community as an influencer. Sponsored by Bitmovin.

We are pleased to introduce three new categories, Company Award for Investment in Women, Influencer Award and Student Award providing further opportunities for us all to give recognition to women in our community.
I would thank our sponsors for their generosity and for supporting the Rise Awards. We are looking forward to hosting the awards as part of the DPP Leaders' Briefing event and most importantly congratulating the winners and all of the nominees in-person.
