Personality of the year
AIB is passionate about
broadcasting. We know that the
people who work on screen and
at the microphone share that
passion. The AIB personality
awards in 2013 will be presented
to the most engaging
personalities on air today.
We are searching for
presenters who exude passion for
their craft and demonstrate that
they are passionate about their
audience as well.
The winner will be
knowledgeable, enthusiastic and
possess that “something” that
makes their audience - and our
judges - pay attention.
It’s likely that the winner will
be a regular on-air presenter
who’s authoritative without being
overbearing and comes across to
the audience as someone they
can rely on to tell them the facts.
Our judges are looking for
people who can demonstrate that
they have a “well-stocked” mind
and who relate to the stories they
are presenting. The personality of
the year will stand out from the
crowd and make viewers and
listeners take note. And of
course, if they are interviewers,
they will instinctively know the
questions that their audience
want asked and not be afraid to
ask challenging questions.
Our judges will want to see
evidence of the presenter’s work
in a showreel that lasts for a
maximum of 45’. They will also
want a biography, demonstrating
how they have reached the top of
their profession.
Remember that the
personality must have been
regularly on air between 1 June
2012 and 30 June 2013. Full
