In 2013, the AIBs - the international media excellence awards -will continue their tradition of celebrating creativity andrewarding success in factual programming on television, onradio and in transmedia.These awards - in their ninth year - provide a truly

international accolade. They offer both peer and external reviewof entries and are independent of any commercial influence. Thestandard of competition is high and the annual awards galaevening in London is a highly-anticipated, sell-out event. The AIBs are highly respected in the international media

industry, described as "intelligent", "inspirational" and "thoughtprovoking". This is reflected in the huge number of high qualityentries that are submitted by broadcasters and independentproduction houses in every continent. These companies recognise that winning an “AIB” is an

important accolade - so significant, in fact, that potentialwinners fly in to London especially for our annual Awardsevening. In 2012, for example, we had senior executives, editorsand journalists from Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the

Philippines, Germany, Norway, France, the USA, India and manyother countries. The AIBs are an important competition in global media,

something that is also reflected in the number of seniorprogramme makers and industry figures who devote their effortsto juding the AIBs.The 2013 AIBs will be presented during a glittering awards

evening at LSO St Luke's in London on 6 November, a venue weare returning to by popular request. It's a fabulous and inspiringevening celebrating all aspects of international broadcasting infront of a global audience of media leaders.A major promotional drive will begin in April to ensure that

there are more nominations than ever, from broadcasters andproduction houses throughout the world, and that companiesinvolved in the AIBs are seen and acknowledged.You have the opportunity to associate your brand with the AIBs

through a range of partnership opportunities. As a result, yourbrand will be seen by decision-makers and opinion-formers inbroadcasters and production companies throughout the world.
