With the constant debate about the lack of inclusion across mainstream media channels, the Screen Nation Digital-Is Media Awards is a great way to provide emerging voices with a platform that recognises and rewards the wealth of talent succeeding in the digital arena.

The awards also champion outstanding web shows from channels that achieve scale, volume, and noise, no matter what their budgets.
