Who else is competing in the Interactive TV Award? Will my idea be good enough? Is it worth the effort for me - what if I don´t win?

Professionals (and would-be professionals) always ask lots of questions. During the meet-up held at the IFA Show on Friday, I gathered plenty of sights and sounds. Who knows, maybe one of the people seen here will come up with an innovative television concept for our competition? Some of them even revealed details of the projects they are working on. You can check this out here:

Naturally, prospective participants want to know from the people at Deutsche Telekom what the competition really has to offer them. Michael Ortlepp, Head of IPTV Entertainment within Product Management is an important new internal sponsor of the Interactive TV Award. “Entertain is ready for your ideas!” he says. - He and a number of other colleagues from Telekom explain the reason for this and the benefits you can expect in our second IFA video.

Achim Brueck (@achimbrueck) claims he has never bought a television in his life. After all, the TV of the past doesn’t allow you to make your own program. Needless to say he looks forward to the TV of tomorrow and is excited about his job of putting the Interactive TV Award on everybody’s map.
