The call for entries has today been announced for the inaugural Australasian Branded Entertainment Awards.
Intended to recognise excellence in creative work and the bravery of brands seeking to engage consumers by entertaining them, rather than through traditional advertising, the awards run as part of November 20’s Festival of Branded Entertainment at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.
The awards and scope of the event were developed in consultation with the Festival of Branded Entertainment advisory panel, a group comprising representatives from a cross-section the industry with strong credentials in this field. Jurors for the awards will be announced shortly.
The festival and awards are being organised by Mumbrella and sister title Encore magazine and curated by Mumbrella’s Cathie McGinn.
