ISCVE is proud to support the Production Futures Breakthrough Talent Awards 2026 as an Association Partner, helping to celebrate and encourage emerging talent across the entertainment production industries.

Nominations are now open across 24 award categories, recognising people who are making an impact during the first seven years of their production careers. Nominees may be apprentices, freelancers, technicians, engineers, creatives, co-ordinators, marketers, entrepreneurs or business owners working across the sector.

You can nominate yourself or put forward someone whose achievements deserve wider recognition. This could be someone who has demonstrated technical excellence, overcome a challenge, exceeded expectations or made a positive difference within their team, organisation or wider community.

Being shortlisted for a Breakthrough Talent Award provides much more than industry recognition. The awards are centred on access and opportunity, with prizes including mentoring and direct engagement with leading industry professionals, sponsors and judges. Previous finalists and winners have gone on to secure new roles, develop valuable connections and build successful careers.

The Breakthrough Talent Awards will be presented during Production Futures ON TOUR at Production Park, Wakefield, on Thursday 19 November 2026.

If you know someone making their mark within entertainment production, or if that person is you, now is the time to put forward a nomination.
