2010 Bookmarks awards announces finalists

"With more than 400 fantastic entries to sift through this year, our expert panel of judges really had their work cut out for them," says Nikki Cockcroft, chairperson of the Bookmarks awards and deputy-chair of the Digital Media and Marketing Association (DMMA), which organises the awards. "They were amazed by the high standard and volume of submissions this year. The quality and quantity of entries is testimony to both the growth and vibrancy of digital advertising, marketing and publishing in South Africa."

The list of finalists includes many familiar names in South Africa's online publishing and advertising landscape as well as some impressive newcomers. Visit www.thebookmarks.co.za for a full list of finalists.
