BaM Awards 2022 – Entry Info

For any additional entries, IABM members will pay £195/€235/$300 (plus VAT where applicable) per product.

Submissions for the BaM Awards® are open to every company (whether an IABM member or not) that has launched a new product or service within 12 months of NAB Show Las Vegas or IBC; the nominated product must be available to view during the relevant show.

The IABM BaM Awards® recognize outstanding technological innovations that deliver real business and creative benefits. The BaMs® are the only truly independent technology awards in the industry, and are widely recognized as the gold standard for rewarding broadcast and media innovation.

You must chose one category from the list above at the start of your entry.

Judging is carried out by a panel of 40 independent, expert judges who represent every element of the broadcast & media eco system.

No, if you don't want the product name to be announced then simply tick the "this product is embargoed" box during submission and we will only announce the company name if you are shortlisted (the winning product/service will be announced at the awards presentation). However, only the name and one line descriptions of shortlisted entries are published prior to the opening of NAB Show/IBC in our BaM Awards shortlist press release – usually around two weeks in advance. You will naturally gain better publicity for your new product if you allow us to publish these basic details in advance.

The entry form has been designed with our judges in mind, we have worked with them to ensure that the descriptions and details of your product are as easy as possible for them to judge. We would advise against using 'marketing speak' in your entry and avoid replicating a press release. Focus on the key USP's and put yourself in the shoes of the judges, what will they want to know to make a decision?

The shortlist will be announced approx 2 weeks prior to the show with the winners for each awards announced at IBC 2021 in December.
