There is nothing like a bit of healthy competition. If you want to show you have what it takes when it comes to cinema advertising, enter the ACES. But you'd better get in quick: entries close today.
Any Australian campaign which has been broadcast in cinema or on TV is eligible for the competition - previous winners include Metro Train's 'Dumb Ways to Die' by McCann Melbourne, Aldi's 'Like Brands Only Cheaper' by BMF Sydney, Toyota Camry's 'Calling All Heros' by Saatchi and Saatchi and Optus 'Lion' by M&C Saatchi.
Publicis Mojo national executive creative director Grant Rutherford, who is part of the ACES jury, said, great talent deserves recognition and the ACES are a chance to celebrate what creative agencies do best.
“Australians are a creative bunch in a time where there's never been more pressure on creative and agencies,” Rutherford said.
“Right now, it's the time to recognise creative.”
Overseeing the judging process is ACES jury chairman and MD of Y&R Group Sydney Andrew Dowling and a panel including Rutherford, GPY&R Melbourne executive creative director Ben Coulson, Ogilvy Sydney executive creative director Derek Green and Aldi Stores advertising director Sam Viney.
The winner will receive a $25,000 cinema media schedule, a private movie screening, an ACE of Excellence trophy, plus points on the board for the all important AdNews Agency Rankings.
Val Morgan's Daniel Hill said: “Here at Val Morgan we understand the importance of great local creative; nothing looks better on the big screen and we are proud to continue to support and showcase the industry through the ACES.”
Entries close today, with the awards taking place in Sydney on 26 March. Click here to download the entry kit.
