We’re getting very excited about The 2011 BIMA Awards which are shaping up to be the biggest and best yet. We’ve got the best in interactive entertainment, live music and DJs for you including U-Touch screens, a performance from Alice Russell and a DJ set from Guilty Pleasures to keep you dancing past your bedtime. And that’s without even mentioning the unveiling of who’ll be named Agency of the Year or who’ll be taking home the prestigious Grand Prix award!
All of this wouldn’t be possible without the great support we receive from our sponsors, and for that
Headline Sponsor: Dedipower
The world of digital and creative is epic, it’s ever changing, at the cutting edge of ideas and technology, and constantly challenging the status quo. But how do they become the reality of tomorrow?
We often come across agencies with great talent in their workforce and as a result produce amazing ideas for their clients, but what they don’t always know is how to get those ideas out to the world and make them available 24/7.
At DediPower we believe technology is the backbone for those ideas, it makes them happen, makes them available 100% of the time, no matter how many people want to engage with them. Without that power, those ideas would only be known by those who created it.
As a result of this experience, and our infrastructure, we passionately believe in working with digital and creative agencies to realise the potential of their business, and ultimately bring their great ideas to their clients, and out to the world. That’s why we are delighted to be sponsoring the BIMA Awards 2011. Come and see our ideas, talk to us on the night and let us know what you think.

In just over a decade, iStockphoto has gone from a small photo-sharing site to the premier destination for royalty-free images, illustrations, and video and audio files, where a file is downloaded every second. The company revolutionised the stock photography business, turning the market upside down, inspiring a string of imitators and establishing a whole new business model: microstock. iStock’s idea was simple: empower the amateur and hobbyist, along with part- or full-time professional artists, by giving them a global platform to share their work. This has completely transformed the graphic design landscape, making digital content affordable and accessible to a host of new customers and industries.
Today, iStock offers a wide variety of collections to its buyers. The Vetta collection offers highly art-directed exclusive imagery, video and illustrations for the most important projects. In 2011 iStock added a brand new Editorial Collection for journalistic use.
The design community finds inspiration from a content collection approaching 10 million photographs, vector illustrations, Flash, audio and video files that can easily be found on the site. The site’s rapidly growing group of contributing artists have more than 50,000 new files approved each week by a global team of inspectors who adhere to some of the strictest quality standards of any stock agency in the business — microstock or otherwise.
