Revel In Our Final Instalment Of Finalists For 2015’s B&T Awards!

The past week had Adland salivating over finding out which of the 420 entrants had been shortlisted for various B&T Awards categories.
With 30 awards to be handed out, it’s taken two days to announce all our fine finalists. Yesterday may have had an agency bent but today it’s all about top campaigns and creatives, and celebrating the young guns of our industry.
And today we’re thrilled to unveil the rest of the outstanding entries who made the shortlist for the 10th B&T Awards! Tickets are selling fast, however there’s still some available here for the event at Melbourne’s Town Hall on the 4th December.
A massive congratulations to all who made the final cut. It was a tough, sweat-inducing job for our tireless judges.
In case you missed it, yesterday we revealed half the finalists. Check out that list here.
