NAB is currently accepting nominations for the 2014 NAB Engineering Achievement Awards. Established in 1959, the NAB Engineering Achievement Award is presented each year to an individual for outstanding accomplishments in the broadcast industry. In 1991, NAB began giving awards separately for achievements in radio and television. The award winners will be recognized at the Technology Luncheon at the 2014 NAB Show on April 9 in Las Vegas, Nev.

The candidates for the two awards will be evaluated on the basis of a single contribution, or multiple contributions that have significantly advanced the state of the art of broadcast engineering. The size of the candidate's organization is not a determining factor. Instead, only the merits of the individual's contributions are taken into account.

Candidates must be or have been an owner, officer or employee of a company, subsidiary or division whose primary business is, or directly supports broadcasting. This includes employees of the Federal government directly engaged in broadcast engineering work.

The candidates shall have made contributions in the following categories:

  • Inventions
  • Development of new techniques
  • Dissemination of technical knowledge and literature
  • Leadership in broadcast engineering affairs
  • An outstanding contribution which, in the opinion of the NAB Executive Committee, warrants consideration.

The candidates engineering contributions should span a reasonable period of time. The NAB Executive Committee will select the award winners, and will emphasize the more recent achievements of the nominees.

TThe nomination form is available on NAB's Engineering Achievement Award Web page, and the deadline is January 20, 2013.
