INDEPENDENTLY JUDGED

“The shortlist is typically diverse, acknowledging a range of awards programmes serving a multitude of markets.

“We look forward to celebrating with you in July – circumstances permitting – but, rest assured, if we have to postpone this date further all bookings will be transferred automatically until such time as we can celebrate the winning entries together.”
