Today, the Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced nominees for the PGA Innovation Award ahead of the 33rd Producers Guild Awards. This award recognizes the production of a noteworthy and impactful new media program that greatly elevates the audience's viewing experience.

“As the PGA Innovation Award enters its third year, we are continually amazed at the creative and technological advancements that each of our nominees represents. We are honored to shed light on the extraordinary artists and production teams who not only define excellence in the immersive medium, but show audiences around the world the emotional and narrative magic these experiences present, ”said Eric W. Shamlin, President of the commission and jury of the PGA Innovation Award.

The recipient of the PGA Innovation Award 2022, as well as the PGA Award winners in the Short Form, Sports and Children's categories, will be announced during the New York Nominees Celebration on Monday, March 14 at the Bryant Park Grill Garden, sponsored by Cadillac and GreenSlate.
