bima awards

The British Interactive Media Association (BIMA) have announced the shortlist for the 2012 BIMA Awards, hailing it as the most diverse agency spread in recent years.

Finalists for the 27th annual awards included Heinz for Get Well Soup, Skype for Say it with Skype, the Kaiser Chiefs bespoke album creation experience, BBC Sport’s website relaunch, Nike Academy, Pottermore, M&S for Pass the Parcel, and Microsoft for Brandon Generator.

Today the British Interactive Media Association (BIMA) announced the nominees for its Premium Awards, with the winners to be revealed at the BIMA Awards on 10th November. 

The premium categories cannot be entered directly, rather, winners are selected from the stand out work in BIMA’s other award categories and as such represent absolute excellence in the three areas of Effectiveness, Innovation and Creativity. Nominees for Agency of The Year and the BIMA Grand Prix will be revealed at the awards ceremony at Fabric on the 10th of November.

And the nominees are...

Last week, the British Interactive Media Association (BIMA) revealed the final shortlist for its prestigious annual award ceremony to be held on November 10th as Internet Week Europe wraps up.  

You've got just over a week to submit entries for this year's BIMA Awards thanks to a two week extension, making the new deadline midnight on Friday 26th August.

Following on from the announcement of the Sector and Discipline category finalists last month, BIMA have now revealed the shortlist for the Special Awards. The Special Awards recognise excellence in interactive crafts, with the shortlist made up from all the entries received across all the main categories, so competition is fierce.

It's 25 years since the first BIMA Awards and this year's shindig promises to be a bustling affair with over 1,000 digital types getting together on November 25th. We're delighted to be working with BIMA as a media partner on this year's awards.

There's still a chance to enter the awards, the deadline has been extended by a few days to 24th August (next Tue), so you'll need to get your skates on.

The BIMA Awards 2009 have rolled around again, with the presentations taking place on 19th Nov.

The awards celebrate the innovative work of UK digital companies and this year has seen a record number of agencies applying.

The Shortlist has just been announced showcasing some of the UK's brightest digital talent and, the good news, there are still a few precious tickets left.

Categories range from display and interactive advertising, online games, mobile to social media and word of mouth marketing. Those companies lucky enough to be shortlisted are some of the best the UK digital sector has to offer and with the BBC iPlayer in the best website section, T-Mobile's "Life is for Living" in the viral seeding category and the MINI Convertible launch up for an e-mail marketing award they are some of the most memorable campaigns from the last year too.

Chinwag is chuffed to be working with the BIMA crew as social media partner for the 2009 BIMA Awards.

November might seem a way-off, but the deadline to enter is only a few days away. 7th August to be precise. The committee have been hard at work to re-vamp the format including more categories, more transparent judging and important these days, a more affordable event.
