Yasss! Part Two Of The B&T Awards 2021 Shortlist Is Here!
With the first group of finalists already announced for this year’s B&T Awards, presented by YouTube, it’s time to release our shortlist sequel!
That’s right, part two of the B&T Awards 2021 shortlist has arrived, so let’s just start by giving a big congrats to all the finalists! (You can check out part one of the shortlist here).
Now, just like we told the first lot, please double-check how your company name is listed on the shortlist and advise if any changes are needed by emailing riin@bandt.com.au and nicolle@bandt.com.au no later than Friday 8 October, as this is how they’ll appear in the awards presentation and on trophies (if you’re lucky enough to win one, of course).
And, unlike the first round of finalists, there will be no live judging to worry about for those entrants shortlisted below.
B&T would like to give a massive shout to everyone who entered our awards this year. The judges had the exceptionally difficult task of curating this list of finalists from a very high calibre of entries. It never gets easier!
If you didn’t make the list, we would still love to celebrate with you on the night and we’re already excited to receive your entry in 2022!
This year’s B&T Awards will take place on Friday 12 November at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney. You can secure your spot now HERE and then get your glad rags ready to celebrate what has been another year of brilliant work by adland!
B&T can’t wait to welcome guests to the Hordern Pavilion for a COVID-safe event! Adhering to the current NSW Public Health Order, all guests are to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or NSW Health-approved vaccination exemption upon entry to the venue.
Kudos to all of our sponsors for this year’s B&T Awards. We wouldn’t be able to put on the industry’s favourite event without your support!
Now, we won’t keep you waiting any longer. Here’s part two of the shortlist for this year’s B&T Awards…
