What are the T3 Awards?
The T3 Awards is the UK's biggest and most prestigious technology and gadget awards, celebrating the game-changing products and people that transform the world we live in for the better.
Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, the T3 Awards are known as “the Oscars of Tech,” and not only by us. Indeed, a T3 Award has become one of the most prestigious prizes in the industry, given only to the greatest gadgets, the best brands and the most innovative, er, innovators.
Not surprisingly, Virtual Reality has a big impact on this year's nominations. The HTC Vive receives three for Gadget, Gaming Product and Innovation of the Year. The Oculus Rift, whose founder Palmer Luckey was 2015's Outstanding Achievement recipient, has two (Gadget and Gaming Product of the Year), with the Samsung Gear 360 nominated for Innovation of the Year.
Samsung is this year's most nominated company with an incredible 11 nods. Apple and Sony/Sony PlayStation pick up six each, and go mano-a-mano-a-mano with Samsung for Phone and Brand of the Year.
