WHO RUNS THESE AWARDS?
The
AIBs
are administered by the
Association for International
Broadcasting, the not-for-profit,
non-governmental industry
association and global knowledge
network for the international
broadcasting industry. These
awards were launched in 2003 at
the request of the AIB's members.
DO WE PAY TO ENTER?
Yes, there is an administration fee
for each entry. We keep costs as low
as possible, but these annual Awards
are a major undertaking and involve
significant resources at the AIB.
The entry fee for TV,
transmedia and production
technology is £150 (this includes
UK VAT @ 20%) per entry.
Companies that are members of
the AIB, fully-paid up at the time of
entry, benefit from a reduced entry
fee of £75 (including UK VAT @ 20%).
The entry fee for radio is £105
(this includes UK VAT @ 20%) per
entry for non-members, and £60.00
(including UK VAT) for AIB members.
Entry fees can be paid online,
using PayPal or secure credit card
through WorldPay at
,
or by including the cardholder
details on the entry form.
We also accept international
bank transfers, but £10 must be
added to each transfer (not each
