The AIBs are now closed
At the Association for International Broadcasting, everything we do is designed to support our Members and the wider industry. This includes our annual awards – the AIBs – which celebrate and reward journalism and factual productions across TV, radio and digital platforms.
But don’t take our word for it. Hear what some of our entrants say about the AIBs and what the competition means to them in this short video.
The entry date has been extended until the 23 July 2021.
Please see below entry requirements for the different categories.
For a programme that you would like to be considered for the impact award we will require a statement of up to 1000 words detailing the impact that your programme has had.
Please note if you are entering from a UK company all fees are subject to vat at 20%
