With entries closed, the judging panel is now deciding which candidates will be shortlisted for the awards. If you have entered the awards or wish to attend The AMASA Awards ceremony, which will be hosted at Montecasino’s Ballroom on Tuesday, 25 October, from 19:00.
The awards celebrate and share high standards of work, innovation, executions, trends, and strategy within the media and advertising industry. AMASA still stands by its core goal: to up-skill and uplift the industry by supporting and driving the continuous education and inspiration of the industry, from its newcomers to its veterans. The AMASA Awards were created to be one of the organisation’s methods of inspiring great work, and also to be a key fundraising activity. Funds raised from the awards will help the organisation provide support back into the industry through their various educational and up-skilling endeavors.
To harness support for this initiative, The AMASA Awards now include first-time sponsorship opportunities. Prospective sponsors can sponsor an award category or the Roger Garlick Grand Prix award. Sponsors will receive exposure via banner space, logos displayed on tickets, promotional material, on screen, and press release mentions. Sponsors will hand out their category’s award during the ceremony, and The Grand Prix award sponsor will receive the above-mentioned exposure, as well as branding of the registration area and advertising on screens. The headline award sponsor will also be supported with an exclusive press release announcing the sponsorship.
The judging panel is currently evaluating this year’s entries, and shortlist candidates will be announced on Wednesday, 19 October. A ticket to the ceremony costs R500 per person and includes a three-course plated dinner and a bottle of wine per table.
