Creative Circle

Ad Of The Month

Ad of the Month is chaired every month by a Creative Circle Exco member, and 9 other creatives who have a good awards track record. The chairperson has the right to view the judging panel and change it accordingly.

The categories are: Film, Print, Press, Radio, Outdoor and Experiential (every three months).

You may enter your print work in one of the following categories: Newspaper, Magazine or Poster, but not in all three.

You may enter your work as a campaign or as single entries. Judges reserve the right to decide whether a single ad or a campaign is awarded.

First, second and third placings will be announced every month.

First, second and third places will automatically be finalists in the Creative Circle Ad of the Year awards.

Campaign and single entries are R200.

The judging procedure of choosing your top three ads or campaigns per category remains. Debate is encouraged, but only after the results have been tallied. The results cannot be amended.

Chairman's Comments

COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIRPERSON

GRAEME JENNER – NET#WORK BBDO
 
Not many entries here either. Nandos’s Last Dictator was a unanimous winner and rightly so. There was a bit of debate whether the idea behind the WWF ad was completely fresh, but it was decided that the execution was actually different to the other examples that were mentioned and after another vote of hands it pipped Toyota FJ to second place but they all go through.

Well done to all the winners and thanks to everyone who pulled in to Net#work afterwards for a drink/many drinks and a jol (and to hear the winners announcements).
As usual it got pretty messy. Just how we like it.
