Entries for IBC2024 Innovation Awards now open

Entries for the IBC2024 Innovation Awards are now open. This year’s awards bring together under one umbrella IBC’s Innovation and Social Impact awards to enable a single celebration of different industry advances across five categories.

The expanded IBC Innovation Awards recognise the best in collaborative efforts to develop new solutions to real-world technical challenges and to address social and environmental issues. All parts of the industry are invited to suggest nominations for projects, programmes and initiatives.

To win an IBC Innovation Award, you have to show that the commissioning company worked closely with technology partners to deliver a clever, appropriate and innovative solution to a real business, technical or creative issue. To enter the Social Impact category, you do not need to show how you have harnessed new technology (unless this is relevant), but you must demonstrate innovation, real purpose, and results.

The cost is £500 for each entry, with the exception of the Social Impact category which is free to enter. Submission forms must reach IBC at https://ibc-show.awardsplatform.com by 23:59 GMT on May 31, 2024.

The IBC Innovation Awards, established over twenty years ago, celebrate an industry spirit of co-operation and collaboration. They are presented to the end user of a project - the broadcaster or media company that started with a requirement and who brought together the technology partners to find an exciting solution. At the same time, those technology partners are also celebrated and honoured for their contribution to a co-operative process which delivered the successful result.

The “Content Creation” category recognises projects which give creative talents the tools they need, from acquisition to post production. The “Content Distribution” category celebrates the best new ways to manage content and connect creators and consumers, or creators and their collaborators.

The “Content Everywhere” category celebrates the connected experience. To win this award, your project will make the most of the connected world, using technology to engage audiences. The “Social Impact” category recognises a company initiative or campaign which is making a positive impact in the industry and/or in the wider world. It celebrates the industry’s willingness to innovate and engage with today’s big issues, such as diversity and wellbeing.

While content creators and distributors are increasingly aware of the imperative of finding green solutions underpinning all their work, the “Environment & Sustainability” category is looking for stand-out new approaches and best-in-class developments or projects with sustainability at their heart.

IBC2024 will take place September 13-16, 2024.
