Last chance to enter AdNews Agency of the Year Awards and the Top 20 Emerging Leaders of 2021.

Entries for both programs will close at 4pm on Wednesday 28 July, 2021. This year’s awards will take submissions from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2021 unless specified otherwise.

The AdNews Agency of the Year Awards will be held on 28 October, 2021 from 1pm at The Ivy Grand Ballroom and followed by an after party at The Ivy Pool Bar.

AdNews has introduced several new awards including The Diversity Award and The Game Changer Award.

The Diversity Award recognises company and/or agency initiatives to promote diversity within their own business and/or the broader industry. It celebrates those ideas and programs that are making a true difference in enhancing adland to become a more diverse and inclusive industry to work in.

The Game Changer Award recognises innovations and ideas that change the game. A Game Changer could be a piece of disruptive technology, a new advertising format, creative storytelling, an inspirational idea or product launch which has reinvented a client’s business, or an innovative communications strategy that redefined and solved a tricky business challenge. 

The entry kit for the awards can be downloaded here.
