“In previous years the Out of Home category tended to dominate the number of entries and the final results but we’ve certainly seen a growth in the number of digital entries this year,” said Wayne Bischoff, head of AMASA’s Roger Garlick Awards portfolio.
“The judges overall comments about these finalist entries is that they used their mediums in innovative ways which was engaging, had strength in their insights combined with powerful executions.”
Judges were: Heidi Brauer (ex Comair); Howard Fox (GIBS); Serame Taukobong (MTN); Aline Sciarappa (FNB); Ryan Williams (Cinemark and AMASA); Ludi Koekemoer (AAA School of Advertising) and Nazeer Suliman (Unilever). The judging process was chaired and monitored by Frank Tilley.
AMASA Gold’s and the overall Roger Garlick Award winner will be announced at this year’s MOST Awards on the 6 September.
