a similar way to a TV entry.
You need to submit material that
will engage the judges and make
them want to know more about the
technology concept you are
entering. Please submit three (3)
labelled CDs or DVDs that
completely explain the entry using
PowerPoint and/or video, together
with a detailed written explanation
of the entry - in English - in MS
Word or PDF format.
We highly recommend including
a video presentation of up to 10’
duration to explain your entry - we
also need this for our shortlist
presentation. You should submit
the video electronically as an MP4
file (preferred) or a labelled PAL-
format digibeta or DVCAM tape. We
will send you details of our online
portal to upload entries when we
have received your entry form.
MY ENTRY IS NOT IN ENGLISH
That’s good, because we actively
search for entries in every
language. However, since all the
judging is carried out in English, we
need to provide our judges with a
way of evaluating the production in
the English language.
Send us an English-language
transcript of the entry (this applies
to radio andto television) in PDF or
Word format.
In addition, TV entries must
have English-language subtitles to
ensure that our judges fully
understand your entry.
CAN I ENTER MORE THAN ONCE?
There is no limit to the number of
entries you can submit, either for
the Awards as a whole, or for any
category.
You must send a separate entry
form and pay a fee for each entry.
WILL MY ENTRY GO ON SHOW?
Shortlisted entries in every
category will be shown during the
Awards night in London on 6
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.
HOWDO WE SEND OUR ENTRIES?
All entries must be sent to the AIB
Awards office at the AIB
headquarters in the UK.
We are using an online system
for TV entries for the first time and
prefer uploads to tapes!
If you are sending your entries
by courier from outside the UK,
mark the package as containing
non-commercial items and show
the value as the lowest possible
amount (we recommend US$10 per
shipment).
The AIB is unable to pay any
customs or import duties on award
entries sent to us and will return to
the sender any packages that
require customs duty to be paid.
For entries from UK-based
companies, we recommend that you
dispatch your entry to us using
Royal Mail Special Delivery. Avoid
using couriers - the AIB is located
in rural Kent and the cost of a
motorbike courier from central
London is well over £120!
DO YOU RETURN ENTRIES?
No. Do not send us priceless
originals. We cannot be held
responsible for their safe-keeping.
