Loeries introduce Young Creatives Award
The awards will be made at this year's Loeries ceremony on 29 July 2007 in Margate and each winner will receive a Gold Loerie plus an all-expenses paid trip to any one of the following award shows:
- The One Show in New York City,
- the Clio Awards,
- the Cannes Advertising Festival, and
- the D&AD in London.
According to Andre Beyers, managing executive: brand and advertising from Vocadom South Africa, “This award is one we feel is very important. We need to recognise young talent in SA, and provide opportunities to those who achieve creative excellence!
“This award offers the brightest and most creative young professionals the chance to visit other award shows across the globe, the chance to see what the industries in the rest of the world offer, and the chance to explore their horizons and grow to achieve further greatness.”
Entries must reach The Loerie Awards no later than 15 June 2007. Go to www.theloerieawards.co.za for all entry requirements and further information about the awards and festival weekend.
“We are proud to be associated with The Loerie Awards,” concludes Beyers “And look forward to offering these two Young Creative Award winners the chance of a lifetime!”
The Loerie Awards is the only award endorsed by the Association for Communication and Advertising (ACA), the Creative Circle (CC), the South African Graphic Design Council (Think), the Commercial Producers Association (CPA), the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), and the Communication & Advertising Forum for Empowerment (Café).
