The summer is drawing to a close (boo\u2026), the days are starting to feel a tad colder (double boo\u2026) so it can only mean one thing; it\u2019s the start of the awards season.<\/strong><\/p>\n Here at PB towers, we are delighted to announce that nominations are now open for this year\u2019s Freelancer of the Year Awards. As in previous years, it’s a great opportunity to celebrate the talent of some of the unsung heroes in television and film production \u2013 we all know who they are; they do lots (and lots) of hard work, make things happen, always have a smile on their face and still have time for everyone else while their social life takes a back seat (well, more like the spare seat\u2026 in the boot).<\/p>\n There are four categories that cover the first jobber to the seasoned veteran so there’s no excuse for anyone to miss out…<\/p>\n Runner of the Year<\/strong> – A runner that has made a fantastic contribution to the production team. Puts in the hours, is there for everyone and does much more than make great tea.<\/p>\n Outstanding Freelancer of the Year<\/strong> – Someone that has made exceptional contribution to a production, did way and above the job description and made the difference.<\/p>\n Production Manager of the Year<\/strong> – Sometimes the unsung hero – this person put together a great team, was the glue to making the production happen, was always on hand and was the calm head in a sea of anxiety.<\/p>\n Beyond the Call of Duty<\/strong> – The person is an inspiration to those around them – has nurtured people through their careers, given great guidance and been selfless in getting the very best out of people. Is the real star in most people\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n We all know people that would fit into one of these categories, perhaps you have someone in your team that deserves a pay rise because of the effort and hours they have put in but the budget won\u2019t stretch that far? A colleague you know that is the lynchpin to everything that happens, they have a few days leave and while away the world looks like it will cave in? Certain jobs simply don’t get done because this person knows where everything is, how everything works and where the bodies are buried?<\/p>\n If you know someone like this then why not show your appreciation by putting them forward for one of the above categories.<\/p>\n As in previous years, we have an esteemed panel of judges from the world of television, print media and production and the awards will be hosted by Matt Allwright.<\/strong><\/p>\n The closing date is October 15th<\/strong> so please hurry and get those entries in. Further details of the event to follow \u2013 so watch this space!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The summer is drawing to a close (boo\u2026), the days are starting to feel a tad colder (double boo\u2026) so it can only mean one thing; it\u2019s the start of the awards season.
