Patts creatives join MADC judging panel despite spat

The Melbourne Advertising & Design Club has announced its judging panel for the 2011 MADC Awards.

The line-up includes representatives from GPY&R Melbourne, which opted not to enter this year on what it said were cost grounds.

MADC accused Patts Melbourne of submitting a scam entry to the 2010 MADC Awards. The agency vehemently denies the allegation.

Patts’ Chris Northam, Katie Britton and Ant Simmons join a panel to be chaired by M&C Saatchi Sydney ECD Ben Welsh.
