Supported by AIBD, this competition will provide the opportunity for television and radio producers to receive international recognition for their work.
The Awards are open in the following two categories:
AIBD TV Award for the Best TV programme on:
Reviving Lost Cultural Heritage
Each country possesses its own distinctive cultural practices that have been passed from generation to generation, such as craftsmanship, calligraphy, performing arts, etc. In the rush for modernisation, many of these traditional expressions have been lost or are under threat. How can the society work to revive this precious heritage and keep these traditions alive?
Ending Conflict, Promoting Peace
In recent years, we have seen a sharp rise in wars, sectarian conflicts and civil strife. Not enough attention is paid to those who work to foster goodwill, use diplomacy and build bridges between people. What measures are being taken by people on the ground to work to end disharmony and resolve these problems?
AIBD Radio Award and Reinhard Keune Memorial Radio Award for the Best Radio Programme on:
Escape from Poverty
Item No. 1 on the Sustainable Development Goals announced in September 2015 is to ‘End poverty in all its form everywhere’. The issue of poverty alleviation is critical to the development of many countries, yet it is often described in statistical rather than human terms. What are the real personal stories of escaping poverty that can raise awareness on this topic?
Emergency Broadcasting
The Asia-Pacific region remains especially prone to emergencies, such as natural disasters and other manmade disasters. How has radio been a tool to help affected stakeholders in such situations? What are the best showcases of efforts on radio to handle such emergency scenarios to save lives and restore communities?“The Prize” consists of US$ 500.00 cash, a trophy and a certificate presented by AIBD per Award category.
Winners and runners-up will be announced during the 42nd Annual Gathering / 15th AIBD General Conference & Associated Meetings, to be hosted by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in Tehran, Iran from 18 to 20 August 2016.
