The CineD Best-of-Show Awards are back for NAB 2026, and submissions are now officially open. If your company is bringing a product or technology to Las Vegas this April, this is your opportunity to get it in front of our editorial team and compete for one of ten category awards. Continue reading to find out how to submit, our terms and conditions, and who has won in the past. The submission entry ends April 20th, 11:59 pm PST.
With NAB 2026 just weeks away, the industry’s biggest gathering of filmmakers, broadcasters, and technology manufacturers is fast approaching. We will once again be on the ground in Las Vegas in full force, producing video content and delivering comprehensive coverage across all our platforms (stay tuned and make sure to follow us!) As part of that effort, we are continuing one of our most popular traditions: the CineD Best-of-Show Awards.
Since introducing a formal submission process two years ago, the response from manufacturers has been overwhelmingly positive. By submitting your product or technology before the show starts, our editorial team has time to evaluate products thoroughly, and may even see some they would have missed on the show floor. This process levels the playing field between large booths and smaller exhibitors, and gives manufacturers a structured way to make their case directly to us. See who won the CineD Best-of-Show Awards at NAB 2025!
Every nominated product also receives a CineD Best-of-Show nominee poster to display at their booth during the show, adding visibility on the show floor itself.
We are accepting submissions across 10 (ten) categories this year:
Whether you are launching a new cinema camera body, a next-generation lens series, a wireless monitoring solution, or an AI-driven workflow tool, there is a category for you.
Winning a CineD Best-of-Show Award at NAB 2026 comes with more than the trophy itself. Each of the ten category winners will receive a dedicated editorial coverage piece on CineD.com, announcing their win to our global filmmaking audience. Winners also receive permission to use the official CineD Best-of-Show Award logo across their social media channels and marketing publications. On top of that, every winning product will be featured on our Focus Check podcast, giving manufacturers an additional platform to reach the CineD community directly.
Head over to our submissions form to enter your product or technology for consideration. There is a small nomination fee per entry, and there is no cap on the number of submissions per manufacturer, so feel free to enter across multiple categories if your product qualifies.
Please take a moment to read our full Terms & Conditions before submitting. Winners will be announced on-site during NAB 2026. Deadline for submitting is April 20th, 11:59 pm PST.
If your product or technology has not yet been publicly announced ahead of NAB, we are happy to sign an NDA before you submit. Simply send us the NDA via email, and we will promptly return the signed form.
Any questions about the process? Get in touch with us, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing what the industry brings to Las Vegas this year.
The CineD Best-of-Show Awards at NAB 2026 are a genuine chance to get your innovation recognized by a global audience of filmmakers and cinematographers. See you soon and good luck!
