Five Australian entries proceed to APAC regional round of judging in The Immortal Awards 2021

The Immortal Awards has today unveiled the shortlist and finalists from Australia and New Zealand, following a virtual round of judging on Thursday 7th October, hosted in partnership with global partners Nice Shoes.

In total, the 25 highest scoring projects from across the first round of ANZ judging made this year’s shortlist. The 25 projects were then debated by a local jury in a virtual round of discussions to determine which projects, if any, should receive finalist status and proceed to the Asia Pacific round of judging. Five Australian entries and one New Zealand entry have been selected as finalists and have qualified for the regional round of judging.

The Monkeys lead the Australian agency pack with two finalists; one with ARC Edit for Meat & Livestock Australia ‘Make Lamb, Not Walls‘ and one for UN Women Australia ‘When Will She Be Right?‘. Other Australian agencies who made the cut include Clemenger BBDO Melbourne for Carlton & United Breweries ‘VB Solar Exchange‘, VMLY&R Melbourne for Royal Australian Navy  ‘Lost In Translation‘ and M&C Saatchi Sydney for The Minderoo Foundation ‘Thrive by Five‘. Special Group New Zealand was the only Kiwi agency to go through to the next round of judging for Every Kiwi Vote Counts ‘Meddle In The New Zealand Election‘.

The Immortal Awards are hosted by Little Black Book.
