AWARD JUDGES 2005: WHAT A LIST!

AWARD has just released the full list of judges for this year's awards - and there is no doubt it's the best line-up ever.

For the first time, there is equal representation between Asia, Australia and New Zealand in the glamour TV/Cinema and Print categories, plus several prominent expats have been invited to judge, two of them worldwide creative directors: David Droga from Publicis and Craig Davis from JWT. The other expat is Ben Nott, senior creative at TBWA\Chiat\Day, Los Angeles (and defacto deputy worldwide CD, the right hand man of John Hunt).

AWARD Judging will be held in Sydney September 26th to 4th October and Call for Entries close in 2 weeks. This year AWARD will add several new awards, including Agency of the Year (sponsored by Yahoo!), Network of the Year (sponsored by Nova FM) and Client of the Year. These will be devised from a point system taken from the winners at AWARD 2005. In addition, a new category ‘None of The Above’ will be introduced - Not a traditional media idea, not an innovative media idea, not a media idea at all. Just an idea.
