ENTRY FEES
There is an administration fee for each entry. AIB aims to keep this as
low as possible – indeed significantly lower than other major
international competitions.
AIB Members receive preferential rates.
Entries received from outside the UK are VAT exempt.
Entry fees are paid by PayPal, card or bank transfer.
AIB also accepts international bank transfers, but £10 must be added
to each transfer (not each entry) to cover bank charges.
WILL MY ENTRY GO ON SHOW?
Shortlisted entries in every category will be presented during the
Awards night in London on 4 November.
Shortlisted entries may also be available on the AIB's websites and
on video-sharing websites. By entering, you grant AIB permission to
use extracts of your programmes online for non-commercial purposes.
HOW DOES JUDGING WORK?
Shortlisting takes place in August and the shortlist is announced in
October. We do not give information about the results in advance.
WHEN ARE THE AIBs PRESENTED?
This year’s AIB Media Excellence Awards will be presented during a
gala dinner at LSO St Luke’s in London on Wednesday 4 November. We
strongly recommend booking places and tables early.
CAN MY COMPANY SPONSOR?
Yes! All the AIB Awards are available for sponsorship, along with the
champagne reception on the Awards night and the Awards dinner
itself.
