Awards Categories
The IBC Awards celebrate those who have made a real contribution and whose careers have changed our industry. There are several categories in which people or organisations can be nominated:
IBC Innovation Awards
Unique in the sense that they recognise how suppliers and customers work together to create something truly innovative, the innovation awards celebrate the application of technology in bringing creative, commercial or operational benefits to the end user.
They are divided into three categories for the most innovative projects in:
- content creation
- content management
- content delivery
There is also a fourth award presented to one of the category winners that most impresses the international judging panel, known as the Judges’ Prize.
Entry for the 2010 Innovation Awards has now closed, but if you want to find out what's required for submitting an entry next year, view the Innovation Awards Entry Criteria.
IBC International Honour for Excellence
IBC Special Award
In 2010 two special awards will be presented, to two very different projects.
Amidst growing concern about the level of pollution in the river Tiete, TV Globo in Brazil commissioned a device they called Flutuador. This floated down the river, tracking and mapping the pollution, and sending its findings back to the newsroom. The resulting coverage forced the government into action on cleaning up the Tiete.
BSkyB, the satellite broadcaster in the UK and Ireland, has seized the stereoscopic 3D initiative and developed the technology to support the world’s first commercial 3D television channel, Sky 3D. To do this it had to solve not just technical challenges but develop the production guidelines to allow its partners to create a broad range of new programmes to take advantage of the medium.
