Introduces 3 new sunrise categories for the awards - Mobiles, PR and Health Care.

The Advertising Club Bangalore, a popular body that conducts annual Awards for excellence in Communication and Media under the name & style of Big Bang Awards today announced an extension in its dates for receiving entries from agencies across the country.

The Big Bang Awards were constituted over 20 years ago, bringing together agencies across the country to share their creative campaigns and network with creative geniuses. The last 5 years have seen the Big Bang Awards grow in popularity, with Bangalore growing to be the hub of advertising in South India.

 

Projected as the “Awards for Excellence in Communication and Media”, the Big Bang Awards this year see the introduction of three new categories – Mobiles, PR and Health care. The potential seen in each of these sectors has prompted the Ad Club to recognise creative inputs contributed by agencies to their clients in this space.

The Big Bang awards this year will feature eight types of awards for advertising within the Mobile category. Distinguishing PR efforts, internal and external, will be recognised and honoured at the awards. The evolution of specialised health communication specialists brings about the introduction of this category in the awards this time.

The Ad club Bangalore has also instituted an award for young achievers, creative persons under 30 to recognise and nurture their creative abilities and offer them a platform to showcase their talent.

“The Big Bang Awards present a platform to give an impetus to creativity across all levels. The advertising industry is teeming with talent and amazing work and there is a need for it to be seen by all. Through these awards we aim to recognise and infuse fresh thinking and nurture the seed of creativity that is growing among people. The introduction of the three new categories makes the Big Bang Awards bigger this year” said Mr. Prateek Srivastava, President of The Ad Club, Bangalore.

The last date for receiving entries for the Big Bang Awards has been extended till the 10th of May. Agencies or Advertisers wishing to participate can log on to www.adclubbangalore.net for details.
