All entries must be postmarked by May 1, 2008.

RULES

We welcome your entry into MediMedia's International Health & Medical Media Awards (IHMMA). There are two basic requirements. Your entry must:

1. Deal with health or medical issues
2. Have been released after January 1, 2006

There is no limit to the number of entries you may submit, but each entry must include a separate form and entry fee unless it is being submitted as a series. A series consists of two or more videos/CDROMs/DVDs submitted to be judged as a set. You may submit the same audiovisual entry in more than one category; however, each must include a separate video/CDROM/DVD, form and entry fee for each category. Audio programming may only be entered in the Audio Programming category. You may submit payment for multiple entries in a single check.

An entry must not have been a FREDDIE winner—that is, a category winner—at a previous IHMMA ceremony.

ENTRY FORMATS

Any entry submitted on 1/2-inch VHS videocassette or DVD must be NTSC standard, playable in Region 1, the United States and Canada.

Please remove any anticopying messages, TV station IDs, countdowns and intervals over ten seconds from the program content. IHMMA reserves the right to reject any entries that violate the preceding sentence.

You may submit interactive entries, or entries designed for other media such as CD-ROM, in any category. CD-ROM entries should be set up with auto start to facilitate the judging process. Submit CD-ROM entries in a cross-platform format or in both Mac and PC formats for judging. Entries in languages other than English are acceptable, if they are subtitled in English.

Audio programs should be submitted on a playable audio CD.

HANDLING

Send all entry material together (form, fee, video, DVD, CD or CD-ROM, and literature). Identify all materials with entrant’s name. IHMMA uses reasonable efforts to guard against loss or damage to entries in our possession but will assume no liability for any such loss or damage. MediMedia will assume no responsibility for entries, delivery, receipts or con dition of entries. Entrants will need to prepay all clearance charges and forward ing fees and arrange for local delivery.

CATEGORY

On your entry form, please indicate the category in which you wish to enter. Identify whether your primary target audience is consumer or professional. This information will determine eligibility for our top awards.

JUDGING

Our judges evaluate entries for their content, educational value, originality and production quality. Our judges screen each entry to determine whether it merits further judging as a category finalist. We will notify finalists no later than September 30, 2008. Only finalists and winners will receive notification. We will notify the contact person listed under Entrant Information. Category finalists are eligible to become FREDDIE winners in the next round of judging. All category winners will receive a FREDDIE award.
