Juries set to judge 4,984 pieces of work innovation shortlist released
TheSpikes Asia Festival of Creativity, which takes place next week in Singapore,
has announced that 4,984 entries have been received into the 2014 awards.
“The
entries received into Spikes Asia always act as a good indication of regional
industry trends and the direction it’s heading in, which is why it’s
interesting to see that the categories showing the strongest growth are Digital,
which has seen entries rise by 68%, and Mobile, where entries have grown by
48%. On a country level, it’s fantastic that Sri Lanka has almost doubled its
entries, whilst Malaysia, Pakistan and Chinese Taipei have also seen
substantial increases. It’s going to be an exciting few days as we start to see
the best in APAC’s creative communications rising to the top,” says Terry
Savage, Chairman, Lions Festivals.
The
following number of entries have been received in each category: Branded
Content & Entertainment (187), Creative Effectiveness (31), Design (332),
Digital (461), Direct (329), Film (397), Film Craft (258), Healthcare (173),
Innovation (63), Integrated (59), Media (422), Mobile (186), Outdoor (605), PR
(247), Print (379), Print & Poster Craft (306), Promo & Activation
(434), Radio (115).
Ahead
of the Festival, the Innovation jury, led by Emad Tahtouh, Director of Applied
Technology at FINCH, have completed a preliminary round of judging to arrive at
a shortlist of entries, each of which will be presented live to the jury at the
Festival. Commenting on the category, Emad said, “Asia is at the heart of
technology. Its manufacturing, creative invention and innovation processes
cannot be matched by any other region. It is relied upon more than any other
region in the world, and is at the centre of all things tech.” Ten entries have
been shortlisted, with Australia having the most shortlisted, closely followed
by Japan and the Philippines. Live judging takes place on Wednesday 24
September and is open to all delegates, who will be able to witness first-hand
the region’s latest innovations and technologies.
In
total, 90 jury members will meet in Singapore to judge entries from across Asia
Pacific and decide which are groundbreaking enough to take home a trophy.
Alongside the awards, the four-day Festival, filled with non-stop content,
networking and learning, is set to recharge and inspire delegates, whilst
particular focus is put on nurturing talent through the Young Spikescompetitions and academies. The Awards Ceremony, where the 2014 winners are
revealed, will bring Spikes Asia 2014 to a close, with celebrations continuing
into the night at the official After Party.
