The ads are currently running in Crown street in Sydney, Swanston street in Melbourne and Sandgate road in Brisbane.
Outdoor advertising campaigns eligible for the awards will need to have run between January 1, 2009 and May 30 this year. Entry closes 5pm, June 11, with the winners to be announced at an event in September.
The inaugural Outdoor Awards were held last year and attracted over 220 entries in over 11 categories. This year an additional category has been added for small budget campaigns under $150,000.
