Run, Don’t Walk! B&T Awards Entries Closing In Exactly One Week!
PSA: The 2020 B&T Awards are closing in exactly one week, people (i.e. next Friday August 14).
If you haven’t submitted your entry yet, we ask: what the heck are you waiting for?
Provided the aliens don’t turn up and enslave us all, the B&T Awards are going ahead come hell or high water. We truly hope in-person, but if not, don’t you worry – we’ve got a back-up plan (we always have a plan B!)
There’s no denying 2020 has been a bit shit, and we’re seemingly no closer to clarity today than we were in March.
However! We know you all have been busy creating some kick-ass work, even if it is in a dark room all alone. That’s why despite the year it’s been, we are forging ahead with the B&T Awards to celebrate YOU, dear adland.
With entries closing NEXT FRIDAY, ENTER NOW.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, here’s a list of confirmed judges (yep, we’re pretty impressed too).
