Judging Chair Announcement

After an unprecedented year of challenges, pivots and wholesale changes to the way sponsorships are approached and activated, I don’t think there has ever been a more innovative and exciting time in our industry.
The programs, platforms and campaigns we have all contributed to will no doubt produce an incredible field of submissions for this year’s awards.
We are excited to announce a new category to this year’s lineup: Regional Award: Awarded to a regional sponsorship program (excluding Toronto) that drove a significant impact.”
