BBC Multimedia scoops Gold at the BIMA Awards.
BBC Multimedia, part of BBC Worldwide's Internet & Interactive business division, has won the Gold Award for the Entertainment category at the British Interactive Multimedia Association (BIMA) Awards for Bob the Builder - Can We Fix It? on PC CD-ROM.
The title trounced stiff competition which included The Hub Communications - www.robbiewilliams.com, Digit - www.mtv2.co.uk and Random Media - Budweiser 'B-Original'.
This is the second gold award this year for Bob the Builder - Can we fix it?, following on from a Gold Award for Interactive Multimedia Publishing at the International Visual Communications Association Awards (IVCA) in March this year. Previous BIMA wins for BBC Multimedia include Gold Awards in 1998 for The French Experience CD-ROM and in 2000 for Tweenies - Ready to Play CD-ROM.
"The BIMAs are one of the UK's top interactive industry awards, so this win is not only a tremendous accolade and a great credit to BBC Multimedia, but it also demonstrates a fantastic track record for the department's commitment" comments Dave Lee, Director of BBC Multimedia. "It's also one of the first titles we jointly developed for both PC CD-ROM and PlayStation formats at the same time, demonstrating our strategic move into the console market last year."
