RedTech International has announced the winners of the RedTech IBC2026 Best in Show Awards, presented at this year’s International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam. RedTech created the awards in 2021 to highlight standout solutions that drive the industry forward.
The RedTech Best in Show Awards recognize innovation and excellence in the global radio and digital audio industries. Judged by a panel of industry experts and broadcast engineers, the awards evaluate products based on market relevance, design, operational and business benefits, innovation, technical performance and cost-effectiveness.
The judges were asked to consider the following:
- What key challenge faced by audio broadcasters does a product address/solve, and how widespread/common is that challenge?
- Does the product have other applications beyond addressing/solving that key challenge?
- Does the product save time and/or money?
- To what degree is it future-proof? Is it a short-term solution, or does it have the capacity to evolve?
The independent judges took to the floor of the IBC in Amsterdam over the weekend of the event and cast their professional eyes over the multitude of products on offer.
The judges were asked to rate each product on a scale of 1 to 10 and provide a short appraisal of the products.
