APMA Star Awards 2015 Call for Entries

The Communications Council has issued a call for entries for the 2015 APMA Star Awards, which will mark the ceremony’s tenth anniversary.

APMA Star Awards recognises the most outstanding promotional and experiential marketing work across Australia and New Zealand. entries will be assessed by a panel of industry experts on strategic relevance, originality, creative execution and effectiveness.

Chairman of APMA, David Lo, said: “There is extra cause for celebration this year, as it marks a decade since the APMA Star Awards launched. Each year’s winners set the benchmark for excellence higher. They help drive innovation and creativity in the promotional and experiential space, and so it is important that these awards have continued to receive such great support from the industry.”

Some of the categories include:

1. Best Integrated Communications Campaign (Under $1 Million)

2. Best Integrated Communications Campaign (Over $1 Million)

3. Best Sponsorship or Tie-in Campaign

4. Best Use of Digital in a Campaign

5. Best Shopper Marketing Campaign

The Grand Prix will be awarded to the overall best campaign as judged by the APMA Star Award Jury.

APMA member agencies can also nominate Account Service and/or Creative staff for the Young Achiever of the Year title. The winner will not only have their work and achievements recognised but will also be awarded an overseas trip, courtesy of sponsor Free 2 Travel.

The APMA executive committee will also award a Lifetime Achievement Award for outstanding service to an industry figurehead with an exceptional track record in promotional and experiential marketing.

For the second year running, those who achieve gold, silver or bronze in the highly competitive category, ‘Best Integrated Communications Campaign (Over $1 million)’ will be considered for an additional award, ‘Best Campaign Most Likely to Drive Behaviour’.

This category is judged by the consumer, employing IMI’s Promotion Potential Study to ascertain which campaign idea demonstrates the greatest potential to impact behaviour, without considering brand or budgets.
