ENTRIES NOW OPEN

We are lucky enough to be working in media at a time when content is not only plentiful but also provocative, adventurous, thrilling – and available across many platforms and formats. That’s why the 2024 Cynopsis Best of the Best & Rising Star Awards exists – to celebrate the content, how it’s marketed, and the state-of-the-art technology that underpins it.

From daring dramas to stimulating news programs, to smart cooking shows that are so fat with flavor (they inspire even the most timid cooks to approach the stove), we are proud to recognize outstanding achievements across ad tech, programming and marketing. Join us in honoring the trailblazers and rising stars who have accomplished so much this year – including YOU.
