22 Oct 2003

Comments by Brett Morris (Chairperson) for September 2003 judging:

NEWSPAPER
Close scores. Helluva lot of debate. The upshot being that the order changed, so democracy won over accountancy.

MAGAZINE
Less debate, but it was decided that all 3 go through to Ad of Year.

OUTDOOR
Some debate, but a unanimous winner in the end.

TELEVISION
No debate about the winner. Lots of debate about 2nd place, which went through to Ad of Year in the end.

RADIO
Clear winners amongst overall low scores. Nuff said.
