Clemenger BBDO Melbourne + VMLY&R Melbourne proceed to final round of judging for The Immortal Awards 2021

The Immortal Awards has today unveiled the shortlist and finalists from Asia Pacific, following a virtual round of judging on Friday 22nd October, hosted in partnership with global partners Nice Shoes.

Australia has two projects that have made it through to the final round of judging, Clemenger BBDO Melbourne for Carlton & United Breweries for ‘VB Solar Exchange’ and VMLY&R Melbourne for Royal Australian Navy ‘Lost In Translation’.

In total, 24 projects from across the first round of APAC judging made this year’s shortlist. These 24 projects, which included the 6 Finalists from the ANZ round of judging plus 18 more top scoring pieces from across the region, were then debated by a regional jury in a virtual round of discussions to determine which projects, if any, should receive finalist status. Five APAC entries have been selected as finalists and have qualified for the final, global round of judging.

This final round of judging will take place on Thursday 18th November, in which all regional finalists will compete for an Immortal Award or Commendation status.

Those on the APAC jury were Valerie Madon (VMLY&R), Tomoko Kanezaki (Dentsu), Graham Drew (Grey), Dissara Udomedj (Yell), Dan Jacques (McCann), Charu Menon (Heckler), Hugh Connelly (HUGE), Damon Stapleton (The Monkeys), and Rob Galluzzo (FINCH).
