Thank YOU!

The entry deadline for the 2008 AIB Awards has now passed so we can no longer accept any more submissions. We have been surprised and, if we're honest, slightly overwhelmed by not only the quantity but the quality of this year's entries. A lot of the submissions came right at the last minute in a huge wave. But these have been all logged and sorted into the various categories.

What happens now?

The entries are being sorted into categories and sent to the panel of judges over the summer. They have time to compare and mark the entries. When they have finished, we will start preparing to announce the winners. We should point out here that we do not release winners names until the night itself. The surprise on peoples' faces is always genuine. Even the judges don't know the full results until the night itself.

Book Tickets Early

We hope you will join us for the 2008 AIB Media Excellence Awards ceremony. They will be presented at a gala evening in London on 12 November 2008, when we'll be celebrating the creativity and influence of the world's international broadcasters. The evening is a fantastic opportunity to meet programme makers, marketers, new media experts and technologists from around the world, to share ideas and to start conversations. It's a great way to celebrate the success of your work and to gain column inches in the international press coverage that the AIB Media Excellence Awards generate each year. Ask those who went last year - it was a great night out!

Bookings for the Awards Dinner have already opened. Full details about how to reserve your table have been posted here. There are also a few sponsorship opportunities available. For sponsorship enquiries, contact Oliver Kirkman. He can be reached by e-mail by writing "ollie" followed by "@centuryonepublishing.ltd.uk". We don't put clickable e-mail addresses here on the home page to avoid the spambots scraping the site.

But, once again, thanks for your generous support of the AIB. We're delighted to see the industry is certainly alive and kicking.

Please bookmark this site and check back as we get nearer the date.

Cheers,

Simon Spanswick
