Round Two Of B&T Awards Shortlist Is Out!
Yesterday we dropped part one of the B&T Awards shortlist, and today is the final round. Without further ado we’re happy to reveal the second instalment of nominees for the B&T Awards 2016.
With an unprecedented 423 submissions received for 34 categories, the judges have been scratching their heads trying to figure out who is worthy of receiving a shiny trophy and a pat on the back for all their hard work.
We want to give a special shout out to all the non-agency judges who took time out of their busy day to judge the entries.
More than 800 people are expected to attend this year’s awards, which will be held at Sydney Town Hall on Friday 18 November. Twitter has come on board this year as the principal sponsor, so grab your tickets now to avoid missing out on the night of nights!
These nominees don’t need to attend the live judging day.
