Ad Stars has given agencies, creatives, production companies, students and advertising enthusiasts one more month to get their entries in.
The extended deadline is Friday June 15.
Ad Stars is free to enter, and the only festival with a US$10,000 cash prize for Grand Prix of the Year winners.
“Ad Stars received over 21,500 entries last year and we are delighted to say that entries are flooding in from around the world again this year. However, several agencies have been in touch to request more time and so we have extended the deadline until Friday June 15,” explained Lydia Lee, assistant manager at Ad Stars, who oversees entries.
“It is important to note this will be the final deadline extension as preliminary judging commences on June 20.”
Entries are now open in the following categories:
Film, Print, Outdoor, Radio & Audio, Design, Interactive, Mobile, Data Insights, Social & Influencer, PR, Promotion, Direct, Media, Integrated, Innovation, and Place Brand.
Ad Stars is also open for entries to its PSA (Public Service Advertising) and Video Stars categories, including: Branded Information Videos; Branded Entertainment Videos; Branded Viral Videos; Campaign Videos (Case Film); and Non Branded Videos.
Helen Pak, chief creative officer at GREY Canada, and an executive judge at Ad Stars 2017, commented, “Ad Stars is a great judging experience. Seeing such a variety of work from different regions and being with such a diverse group of talented judges was an honour. Ad Stars is a truly special experience.”
Florentin Hock, group creative director at Jung von Matt/SAGA GmbH in Hamburg was one of 30 final judges who travelled to Busan last August. “The submitted work was very good, the jury very professional and the people were very friendly. I especially liked the democratic approach of the festival, which opens world-class creative work to the public.”
Ad Stars 2018 will run from August 23 to 25 at Bexco (Busan Exhibition and Conference Centre) in Busan, Korea.
