The Media Innovation Awards celebrate the innovative use of screen based media across the South West. The 2008 competition will launch in October and any member of a South West based cluster group or their clients can enter. There will be 14 categories and the overall winner will be awarded the 2008 MIA Trophy.
The nominations will be announced in February and the awards presented at a glittering gala awards dinner to be held in Plymouth on Friday 14th March.
The 2007 awards attracted entries from as far afield as Newquay and Braunton and and the 2008 awards are being extended to cover the entire South West which will open the competition to nearly 3000 companies working in the media and new media sectors.
As well as the practitioners any business that had commissioned work from members of Plymouth Media-Partnership, Cornwall Media Focus, Wessex Media Group, Gloucester Media Group and Bristol Media are also encouraged to enter their projects into the awards.
Karen Stockdale of Plymouth Media-Partnership, which is organising the awards said: “There is a huge range of talent across the region and this initiative will celebrate the very best screen based media work.”
The judges will be respected members of the UK media and new media industry which will enhance the value of the awards.
