The AIBs 2017 Longlist

Welcome

The Association for International Broadcasting is pleased to announce the long list for this year’s AIBs, our 13th annual competition for factual video, audio and online content.

This year we received more entries than ever before, and from more production companies and broadcasters. From Argentina to Papua New Guinea, Denmark to the UAE, this is a truly global competition that attracts the most significant work from the world’s best factual producers.

Over the past few weeks, our short-listing team has been evaluating each of the hundreds of entries that we received, looking at and listening to the stories that have been told, and the way in which the producers have harnessed the capability of the medium they work in. This has enabled us to develop this long list.

The programmes and productions represented in our long list are astonishing in the breadth of subjects covered, and the way in which the stories have been told or the investigations undertaken. From local issues to global concerns, these programmes are outstanding in their categories.

The next stage is for our judges to receive their packs of material and then to take some extremely challenging decisions on which programmes represent the very best of their kind.

On Wednesday 1 November, we will announce the overall winners in each category at our gala awards night at LSO St Luke’s in London. This is a meeting point for producers, editors, journalists and executives from all over the world and provides an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas in a collaborative and celebratory atmosphere. The following day, 2 November, we will hold our #iamabroadcaster Masterclass. This offers the chance to learn from colleagues and peers in the international factual media industry in a half-day event that helps share knowledge and foster cooperation.

Details of how to book places at the AIBs gala awards night and the #iamabroadcaster Masterclass are online at http://theaibs.tv/the-aibs-2017-gala-dinner/. We look forward to welcoming you to our celebration of success in November.
