The closing date of the AIBs 2017 has been extended, following requests from broadcasters and production companies around the world.
The new date by which entries must be submitted is 14 July.
“Many people have been in touch with us asking for an extension to the closing date,” says AIB Awards Co-ordinator Clare Dance (pictured). “We’re able to push the deadline back to enable the AIBs to showcase the very best factual content from all over the world. This year’s competition has already seen fantastic work submitted and it’s being entered by broadcasters and production companies which have not entered the competition in the past. Here at the AIB, we believe this demonstrates the constantly growing influence and importance the the AIBs enjoy. In this 13th year’s competition, we’re seeing the largest number of entries ever across the 20 categories.”
