With three times the number of entries over 2007, a
greater number of international judges and a shortlist that showcases
the very best in international TV, radio and online, plus marketing and
technology, the 2008 AIB International Media Excellence Awards have
become one of the key competitions in international media.
We’ll be presenting this year’s winners with their Awards on
Wednesday 12 November at LSO St Luke’s in central London at one of the AIB’s
renowned diners pensant (dinner debates). The evening is much more than
simply an awards ceremony. Two high-level media experts will be in
conversation with the AIB between courses sharing ideas, knowledge and
strategies with our international guests. The fast-paced Awards ceremony
will be a true celebration of excellence – no-one will know whether
they’ve won until the evening.
Book your places at this great event where you’ll have
the chance to meet colleagues, clients and potential clients in fantastic
surroundings with excellent food and drink. Bring along guests to this unique
evening that’s a true celebration of success as well as offering unrivalled
networking and the chance to enjoy yourselves, too.

The shortlist for the 2008 AIB International Media Excellence
Awards has now been released. After an immense increase in the number of
entries for this year’s contest, the shortlisting team has been working round
the clock to sort the best work submitted to the AIB for our international panel
of judges.
The field has been narrowed down to just under 70 individual entries and
these are now being sent to judges for them to evaluate. It’s going to be a
tough contest as the quality of all the entries is astonishingly high, as well
as being truly international with every continent represented in this year’s
celebration of media excellence.
The complete shortlist appears below – and that’s all the information the AIB
will be releasing until the night of the Awards on 12 November. That’s
when the winners will be revealed at a gala evening, incorporating the AIB’s
renowned diner pensant (dinner debate), at
LSO St
Luke’s in central London.
Tables have already been booked for the Awards event which will bring
together producers, editors, journalists, parliamentarians and senior media
executives from all over the world. Don’t miss out on this occasion to share in
the success of the international media industry, and to learn from the two
leading media personalities who will be “in conversation” during the evening.
And we’ll have some other surprises to make 12 November a night to remember.
