AIBs 2025 entries open for journalism and factual productions
Entries are now open for the AIBs 2025 – the awards for factual journalism and production across audio, video, and digital platforms.
These awards recognise the outstanding achievements of journalists, producers, and broadcasters who tell the world’s important stories with clarity, impartiality, and courage.
The audio categories:
- Arts and Culture
- Health and Social
- Investigative
- Journalist of the Year
- News Coverage
- Radio or Podcast Presenter of the Year
- Sustainability
There are also two specialist categories: Channel of the Year and Production Company of the Year.
The AIBs are open for entry until 30th June 2025, after which the judging process led by international media leaders and experts will begin.
In addition to the competition, the AIBs Masterclass takes place on 29th April where colleagues and peers from across journalism and factual productions can exchange ideas and views around covering stories and making programmes.
The AIBs Masterclass will have a number of shortlisted entrants from past competitions in conversation during a three-hour long event taking place at the Rose Shure Experience Centre in London, hosted by Shure UK.
As well as programme makers and journalists, the Masterclass is open to the next generation with participants from journalism and media university courses joining the audience.
“The Masterclass is one of the ways that the AIBs help the international media industry,” comments AIB chief executive Simon Spanswick. “Each year we receive hundreds of hours of content from around the world telling remarkable stories. We want to help programme makers develop new ideas and learn from each other. The AIBs are about friendly competition and sharing expertise – a unique mix.”
Winners of the AIBs 2025 will be announced at the annual gala evening on 14th November 2025 in London.
