Hey, adland. Welcome to part two of the B&T Awards 2020 shortlist.

The following contains the rest of the categories, including Best Media Campaign, Best Digital Services, Best OOH Campaign and some of our new categories such at the B&T Bravery Award and Executive Leader of the Year, just to name a few.
Live judging day will be all done virtually this year. It will take place on Wednesday 14th of Oct and the B&T team will be in touch with all shortlisted in major categories with all the details.
For those required to present at the virtual judging day, read these next steps carefully:
- RSVP to So email viv@bandt.com.au / riin@bandt.com.au with names of all presenting team members.
- Prepare your presentation – each shortlisted entrant will have five minutes set up time and 20 minutes to present in front of a judging panel, followed by 10 minutes of Q&A with the panel.
- Your presentation should address the same set of criteria as your hard copy entry.
If you’ve been shortlisted, make sure you also supply one of the following to So email viv@bandt.com.au / riin@bandt.com.au by October 14th to show as you (hopefully) pick up your shiny trophy:

For campaign based categories:
- A TVC of up to 15 seconds–16:9 in H264 HD OR a hero shot of the campaign.

If you’ve been shortlisted, we highly, highly recommend you grab your tickets now – because you definitely want to pick up your trophy in person. Get them right here.
