Shark creative awards open for business
There are some changes to this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The awards will still proceed and if safe conditions allow, the judging of advertising, digital and design will take place in picturesque town of Kinsale in Ireland between Sept 30 and October 2 with the winners announced on Saturday October 3.
However, there will be no programme of talks and panels over the three days. This is all subject to change and plans will be announced as current conditions allow.
Short Film and Music Video have become so big since they were introduced five years ago, they now command a festival of their own. In a break from tradition they will be judged in January (2021) and a new dedicated festival held in Brighton, England, in March (2021 – more information to follow at a later date.)
Shark Awards Chairman, Peter Brady says: “For a few months we’ve had to bide our time to wait to see what we could manage with absolute certainty and what we’d have to postpone for next year. I’m pleased that we are still able to safely celebrate good work and creativity in our industry”.
Entries finalised before Friday July 10 will get 30% concession, a 15% concession after 10 and before Friday 31st July 31.
Final close of entries is Friday September 4.
