Shop! ANZ’s 24th annual Retail Marketing Awards are now open for entries, with 26 categories recognising the best in Australian retail marketing campaigns.
The prestigious Shop! Awards honour the best practice, innovation and excellence in retail and shopper marketing, covering physical displays and shopper experience.
The 2021 awards will also see the return of two popular categories, ‘Field Marketing’, and ‘Campaign Response to a Covid-19 Changing Shopper’, which recognises the challenges presented to marketers by the ongoing pandemic.
Carla Bridge, general manager of Shop! ANZ, said: “2021 has been a year of ups and downs, but retail marketers in Australia and New Zealand have taken it all in their stride and continued to build strong, relevant campaigns and point of sale to engage shoppers and their changing mindsets.”
Both Shop! ANZ members and non-members can enter and vie for the distinguished gold, silver and bronze prizes, in addition to the highest honour, the Tom Harris Retail Marketing Award (named after Shop! ANZ founder Tom Harris).
Submissions are open until 17 January 2022. Entries must have been in the field between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021.
Winners will be announced at retail marketing’s night of nights, the Shop! Awards gala dinner on Thursday 31 March 2022. Tickets can be purchased HERE, and bookings made before 31 December will receive a 10 per cent early bird discount.
