The Media Innovation Awards will celebrate the innovative use of screen-based media across the South West. The inaugural awards were successfully run this year in Devon and Cornwall and in 2008 the initiative will roll out across the South West. 3500 members of the 5 cluster groups will be invited to enter the awards. The aim is to raise the profile of media and new media companies in the region and we hope that the event will become an annual fixture.
The 2008 competition will launch in October, and call for entries at the beginning of November 2007 with a closing date of 31st January. Cluster members and their clients will be invited to enter work completed during 2007. An elite panel of judges, drawn from nationally respected organisations and with specialist knowledge of the various disciplines within the sector, will decide who will be rewarded for the most innovative use of Media in the following categories:

Each category winner will be presented with a prestigious award at a special gala dinner to be held on Friday 14th March 2008 and from the category winners the judges will select the recipient of the coveted MIA 2008 trophy.
We are inviting sponsors for each of the awards, and for the event itself. Sponsors will receive a credit on press releases, on the website, in the awards brochure and on any promotional material as well as free tickets to the gala awards event. Award sponsors will be invited to present their award at the gala dinner. The 2007 event received extensive coverage in the media and the 2008 Awards will be publicised at key points during the project schedule across the region and beyond in media releases that will credit all sponsors.
