You, too, can judge at Loeries

For the first time, the public - in partnership with the SABC and 24.com - can now vote for their favourite Radio and TV ad for this year's Loeries. Finalists chosen by a panel of key experts (i.e. members of the public) have been flighted across SABC radio and TV channels this past week.

If you can't wait, go straight to www.24.com/loeries where you can view all the ads and cast your vote. The winners will be announced at The Loerie Awards on 17 September in Margate.
