2016 is the twelfth year that the Association for International Broadcasting has
staged this truly global celebration of factual content. For each of the past 11 years,
an ever-increasing number of broadcasters, production companies and online
platforms have submitted outstanding content to the
AIBs.
Now I should like to
invite you to showcase your work in the AIB’s international media festival in 2016.
Each year while shortlisting and judging entries from all over the world, we have
been privileged to view and listen to factual content that has been inspiring,
informative, remarkable and fascinating. The range, strength and depth of the work
that has been entered for these awards have astounded our panel of judges. We have
been privileged to see productions that have challenged us and have moved us to
tears and to action. The work submitted to the
AIBs
reflects the whole of human
life – the good and the bad, and shades in between.
Importantly, as an international competition the
AIBs
are open to work produced
in all languages, for all markets. Over the past 11 years, we have seen exceptional
work from all corners of the world in many different languages, so whatever
language you work in, these awards are for you.
Our panel of judges this year is again as international and diverse as the content
that is entered. Producers, editors, journalists, critics and executives from many
countries will share their expertise as they evaluate each of our 17 categories.
The winners of the
AIBs
2016 will gather in London on 2 November for our gala
awards night that everyone who attends tells us offers remarkable international
networking and the chance to see the extraordinary work that the
AIBs
attract.
Please join us in our search for the world’s best factual productions – for television,
radio and online.
