The BSME Talent Awards are to reward the brilliance of members of editorial and digital teams, up to and including deputy editor. Previously known as the Rising Stars Awards, the awards have been relaunched to reflect the fact that entrants don’t necessarily need to be either ‘young’ or ‘new to the industry’, says the society.
The awards will be presented at a ceremony at Cargo, Shoreditch on 6 June.
