Val Morgan is proud to announce the finalists for the March 2015 Australia Creative Excellence Showcase (ACES).
ACES Chairman Andrew Dowling commented, “The quality of entries this round were very strong. The quality is a good indication of the strength of Australian creative and the excellent work that is being done.”
Daniel Hill, managing director Val Morgan Cinema Network added, “Now in their fourth year, the ACES are all about rewarding and fostering the creative talent in Australia. Each year we see the entries going from strength to strength and I think this is a reflection on the industry as a whole who are constantly challenging the norm, producing fantastic content.”
Under the chairmanship of Andrew Dowling (Y&R group managing director) the ACES were judged at Val Morgan’s head offices by a panel of creative industry experts including Grant Rutherford (Publicis Mojo, ECD), Derek Green (Ogilvy, ECD), David Joubert (GPY&R, ECD), Sam Viney (ALDI Australia, advertising director) and Rosie Baker (AdNews, editor-in-chief). The winner will be announced at the event on Wednesday 25th March at 5.30pm Dendy Opera Quays followed by drinks at Buckley’s Sydney.
