The NAB Best Paper Award, established in 2010, honors the author(s) of a paper of exceptional merit published in the Proceedings.
The awards, first established in 1959, are given to individuals for their significant contributions which have advanced the state of the art of broadcast engineering. In 1991, the Association began giving two awards – one for achievements in radio and the other for television.
First presented at the 2009 NAB Show, NAB presents the award to organizations that bring advanced technology exhibits and demonstrations of significant merit to the NAB Show. The nominated exhibit should present advanced research and development projects in communications technologies that have not yet been commercialized.
