Why Enter?

Cross media, cross border, cross cultural

Now in their fourth year, the AIB Media Excellence Awards continue to celebrate creativity and reward success. They are unique in the field of international electronic media by offering both peer and external review of entries. They are also independent of commercial influence.

The AIB Awards recognise the special skills and needs of the international broadcasting industry - an industry that is constantly growing, developing and increasing its reach as the use of new delivery platforms enable broadcasters to reach ever larger and more international audiences.

Winning lets you know that your programming and content is really working, that your marketing is having an impact or that your technology is valued internationally. Then there's the boost to staff morale, which is something that cannot be overestimated. Importantly, the Awards are open to content produced in any language.We're actively encouraging producers of content in all languages to enter this year's Awards as we recognise that 90% of the world's population does not speak English as a first language. So while this booklet is published in English, we encourage producers of content in other languages to enter their work.

The 2008 AIB Media Excellence Awards 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.

We will be showcasing this year's entries here on our Awards website, as well as at the gala dinner. Winners will receive a glittering trophy on stage, generating more exposure and coverage for your organisation. With a wide range of categories, there's one to suit your organisation.

If you don't enter, you cannot win!
