OUR CELEBRATION


To all our shortlisted entrants: very many congratulations on reaching the final stages of the 17th annual AIBs!

The AIBs recognise the highest standards in factual productions across video, audio and online. Gaining a place on the shortlist is a significant achievement since the standard of entries across all our categories in 2021 has been, as ever, extraordinarily high.

Our shortlist includes work from over 80 companies, or divisions of companies, from 27 countries, that have reached audiences globally in multiple languages.

It’s an impressive range of work, and our global panel of more than 50 judges are now tasked with evaluating the hundreds of hours of finalists’ work to decide on the winner in each of the 21 categories.
