Judging of the entries by a panel of local judges and an international judge will take place during February and March, with the awards handed out at a gala dinner on Friday April 1. The following day will see a post-event workshop run by the international judge and inclusive of information and ideas on international trends in advertising, as well as recommendations based on the experience of the entries made to competition.
Membership of the judging panel remains confidential until the awards event to allow the members to undertake their work without possible prejudice.
