The Rising Star Award recognises a person with 5 years or less of experience in Media and Entertainment Technology whose early accomplishments distinguish them as possible future leaders in the industry.

The award winner is to be determined through an interview process, (conducted remotely) with a panel of SMPTE Board appointed judges.  Candidates are encouraged to bring details of their work to the interview and any reward and recognition evidence they may have.  Tone of the interviews will be relaxed and informal with the candidate encouraged to tell their story.
