Television and online dossiers have the power to bring science into
people’s homes and to present complex issues in highly creative ways.
From the exploration of the deepest parts of oceans to the development
of new energy sources, or the survival of endangered species, there is
an almost unlimited range of subjects that can be tackled by
mainstream media.
AIB is looking for the most compelling and imaginative science
programme or series that explains one or more complex scientific
concepts with exceptional clarity. The programme should also leave the
viewer wanting to learn more.
Our judges will be looking for stunning photography whether filmed in
challenging remote locations or in an urban environment close to
home.
Narration and story-telling will need to be clear and unambiguous. The
creative use of graphics to help explain complex concepts in an easy-
to-grasp manner is equally as important.
The programme or series will appeal to a wide general audience. Your
programme or series may also have generated “water cooler”
discussions or considerable traffic on social networks.
All documentaries - whether single programmes or complete series -
must have been transmitted or distributed online between 1 June 2014
and 30 June 2015.
