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 regular entry fee 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%).
Entry fees can be paid online, using our secure WorldPay system available on the main AIB site here or by including the cardholder details on the printed entry form with your entries.
We also accept international bank transfers, but £10 must be added to each transfer (not each entry) to cover bank charges.
By entering the AIBs, you agree that if your entry is shortlisted you will send at least one representative to attend the awards dinner on 7 November.
When and where are the AIB’s presented?
This year’s AIB Media Excellence Awards will be presented during a gala dinner at LSO St Luke’s in London on Wednesday 7 November. The evening will start with a reception at 1730 London time, followed by dinner.
Tickets for the Awards dinner are available now, with an early-bird discount for all bookings made before the revised closing date for entries of 16 July 2012. Reserve places online at the AIB online payment system here.
Prices for the Awards Gala
The early bird rate is £165 plus UK VAT for members of the AIB, or £200 plus UK VAT for non-members. Prices after 2nd July are £200 plus VAT for AIB members or £1,900 plus VAT for a table. For non-members, the price is £225 plus VAT or £2,150 plus VAT for a table.
