Video Awards Categories

 

These categories recognize excellence in videos produced for a work- or business-related purpose that were first released or otherwise made public since 1 January 2023. 
   Nominations that won in the 2024 IBAs may be resubmitted for consideration in the 2025 IBAs.  If they have been updated with recent achievements they may be submitted to the same categories in which they won.  If they have not been updated they must be submitted to categories different from those in which they won.
