BUSAN, KOREA, Today: The Ad Stars AWARDS – themed this year as MAD (!) and with FCB NZ ECD Peter Vegas on the final jury – is extending its entry deadline until Tuesday 31 May.
Ad Stars manager Paul Conversy said: “This gives agencies, production companies, and the whole creative industry more time to submit their work and compete for US$10,000 cash prizes.
“Ad Stars is on a mission to support creators all over the world – whether they’re global networks, smaller-sized agencies, start-ups, or students with limited award budgets – with a forum where they can share their work, and inspire the world.
“As part of this mission, we do not charge entry fees for almost all awards categories, creating a level playing field for creators of all shapes and sizes.
“We are also particularly proud of our theme this year: MAD.
“MAD is an acronym for Marketing, Advertising, and Digital, but it is also a reflection of the industry’s direction by becoming more pluri-disciplinary, more creative, and more passionate.”
