Comments from the chairperson


  • Newspaper: “Although the number of entries was quite high, there was a clear distinction between the good and the great.”
  • Magazine: “This was a really tough category to judge, purely because the work near the top of the pile was great. There were quite a few ties as a result.”
  • Radio: “There was some debate over one of the winners, resulting in its withdrawal. First and second place go through to Ad Of The Year.”
  • Film: “First, second and third place go through to Ad Of The Year.”
  • Experiential: “An interesting category to judge, the variety in the type of work entered was great to see.”
  • Outdoor: “Another highly competitive category, well done to the winners.”
