The AIB is proud to announce that the judges announced today for the 2010 AIBs come from 18 countries in 5 different continents, reinforcing the truly international character of the awards. The 29 judges will be working hard and independently of any commercial interest. Over the summer they will assess the shortlisted entries in fifteen different categories, from single news events to cross-media productions, from the new children’s factual programming award to best creative feature, and from creative marketing strategy to most innovative technology.
The full press release can be seen here and biographical details of the judges, together with photos, can be accessed here.
The sixteenth category at the awards is the People’s Choice of best TV coverage of climate change. This will not be assessed by the judges but the winner will be chosen by the votes of online viewers. We will be publishing details of the viewing and voting procedures in the next few weeks.
