Asia-Pacific - Sony Electronics Asia Pacific (Sony) and the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) will promote and develop the broadcasting industry in the Asia-Pacific region through a broadcast engineering excellence award.

Sony will sponsor the winner of the 2008 ‘ABU Broadcast Engineering Excellence Award’, who will be entitled to a study tour of Sony’s main research centre or any other of its institutions.

The award, now into its sixth year, is conferred on an individual to recognise contributions of an outstanding nature in broadcast engineering and related disciplines. In previous years, eminent broadcast engineers and researchers have been given recognition for their work through this award.

The award comprises a commemorative trophy, a citation and a life-time ‘Distinguished Observer’ status at the ABU technical committee meetings.

Said Kozo Fujita, head of broadcast and content creation solutions (Asia-Pacific) and director, business and professional products (Asia-Pacific) of Sony Electronics Asia Pacific, “In addition to supporting the industry professionals through our innovative technology and solutions, we believe in giving them the recognition that they truly deserve, and we are pleased to be sponsoring this award again.”

The Broadcast Engineering Excellence Award is exclusively reserved for the staff or former staff of ABU members within the Asia-Pacific region. Contributions to the broadcasting industry made within the last five years will be considered for the application of the award.

The Broadcast Engineering Excellence Award will be presented during the gala dinner of the ABU general assembly, which will be held in Bali, Indonesia on 24 November.
