AIB is delighted that this year's international media excellence awards have attracted a record number of entries, with many coming from broadcasters and independent producers who have entered for the first time.

We are now starting the process of short-listing and will be announcing the entries that have been selected to go before the AIB's international panel of judges in early September.

The 2010 AIBs will be presented at a gala event in London on Tuesday 9 November. More details will be published shortly.

People's Choice

Online voting for the People's Choice of "Best Coverage of Climate Change" will be starting in September, with the winner announced at The 2010 AIBs on 9th November. Go to theaibs.tv/peoples-choice/view-and-vote to sign up for updates and to the first to find out when the voting opens.

To highlight the debates over climate change and to engage viewers for the People's Choice, the AIB is setting up an online climate change portal. The first draft is at climate.aib.org.uk where you can see the latest news and blogs about climate change, check out trending topics and move easily between articles which contain the same keywords. The portal technology was developed by UltraKnowledge and automatically indexes and cross-links articles. Please contact the AIB if you are interested in finding out about more about how this can be used to monetize existing content.
