The AIBs 2020 The Shortlist
Sadly, like so many other organisations, we will be unable to hold our traditional live awards event in London this year. Many companies are restricting international travel and with quarantine restrictions changing in an unpredictable way along with severe limits to the number of people able to gather at an event, it is impracticable to consider using our new home of Church House – moments from the Houses of Parliament in central London – this year.
We are determined to celebrate the work of our shortlisted entrants, however, so we are working with our event partner, Al Jazeera Media Network, on plans for a streamed event that will showcase the shortlisted entries, provide the usual thoughtful context and announce the winners. We will not be revealing any of the winners until the two- part award programmes are released.
We will send details of how to view the two shows nearer the time, and details will also be announced on our website at http://theaibs.tv.
Until then, good luck!
You are still able to advertise in the Winners and Finalists Book Details of winners and finalists will be published in our souvenir book that will be available online after the awards programme has aired. Print copies will be sent to winners and key contacts while the online edition will be available at the conclusion of the second of our two-part awards programme.
Demonstrate your support of the outstanding programme-makers and productions by advertising in the 2020 Winners and Finalists book.
