The AIBs 2025 closing date extended

The AIB Secretariat has been receiving many calls from broadcasters and production companies around the world seeking an extension to the closing date for this year’s AIBs, the 21st annual competition for journalism and factual productions. 

As a result, we have extended the closing date to 14 July to allow more time for entries to be submitted.

“The AIBs are run to showcase and reward the world’s best journalism and factual story telling,” says Clare Fuller, producer of the AIBs. “We recognise that everyone working in media companies around the world are under increasing pressures and ever tighter deadlines, so we know we need to respond to requests from potential entrants. So we are allowing two more weeks for entries to be submitted.”

Full information on all the categories and how to enter is on the AIBs website: www.theaibs.tv. The closing date is now 14 July 2025.
