2011 Roger Garlick Award finalists revealed

Of the record 64 entries received and after an intense judging process, only eight campaigns have made the finalists list in the 2011 Roger Garlick Award, the Advertising Media Association of South Africa (AMASA) announced on Monday morning, 11 April 2011. Winners will be announced at the annual AdReview awards evening on Wednesday 20 April.

"The most entered category this year was 'Out of Home', followed by 'Multiple/Mixed Media' - not surprising as digital platforms are rapidly securing an integral role in media mixes across the board," said Wayne Bischoff, AMASA's Roger Garlick Award portfolio head.
