If you don’t think excellence in digital is top of the pops right now, you’re just not paying attention. The AIMIA awards have been applauding top digital work since 1992, making them the longest running digital awards in Australia. The 21st Annual AIMIA Awards will be assessed by 140 Australian and overseas judges, on creativity, innovation, user experience, design, technical implementation, content and overall effectiveness.

“This year we anticipate more entries in new areas such as wearables, data and digital installations. I’m excited to have AIMIA once again celebrate the best of best from the past year.”
