As preparations gear up for the return of Prolific North Champions Awards in 2023, there are a mix of highly popular returning and new categories to enter.
The awards ceremony will take place on 18 May at The Point, Lancashire County Cricket Club, to celebrate the talented teams, companies and individuals doing remarkable things to place the North firmly on the map.
The Prolific North Champions Awards have continued to shine a well-deserved spotlight on the very best talent and creativity emerging across the North’s digital, creative, media and tech industries.
Over the past 10 years, the North has become a magnet for creativity, particularly within the broadcast and media worlds. BBC and ITV settled into MediaCity and Channel 4 moved into a new HQ in Leeds, which has only encouraged a bigger hive of creative companies to make a buzz across the region.
To celebrate this, we have re-introduced some new categories in recognition of this sector too.
