The Consumer Electronics Association and The   National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences have   joined to launch the new Global Media Awards in order   to recognize how the worlds of technology and   entertainment  have merged to advance both the   creativity and science of media worldwide.  In prior   years, the media like technologies were clearly defined   by decades of usage and tradition, as well as culture   and country.  As the digital age dawned, these   distinctions have virtually evaporated as technologists,   creators, producers and distributors have dedicated   their skills to accomplishments in all forms of media,   distributed simultaneously to international audiences.

  The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences  (NATAS) and the Sports Video Group (SVG) are pleased   to announce the Global Media Awards for College   Sports. The contest, which will be the first to honor   college-sports video programming, will award winners   in 10 categories at the inaugural College Sports Video   Summit (CSVS), to be held in Atlanta June 9-10.   Honorary awards will also be presented to pioneers   who have taken the lead in this field.

  The Global Media Awards for College Sports will   encompass 10 categories in three areas of competition:   Collegiate, for College Sports programming   departments; Corporate, for media companies that   produce college sports video content; and Technology,   for companies that develop systems for use in video   production.
