The power of print and the dynamism of digital is reflected in entries for this year's PANPA Advertising & Marketing Awards, finalists for which have been announced.
Entries from Australia are joined from those from member publishers in New Zealand, Singapore and Fiji. Winners will be announced at a cocktail event on September 10 in Sydney, hosted by media personality Magdalena Roze.
The Newspaper Works chief executive Mark Hollands said: "The Advertising & Marketing Awards allow us to recognise the outstanding talent and work that is reshaping how the newspaper media industry markets and sells itself to readers, advertisers and media agencies."
The awards honour not only specific advertisements and campaigns, but also craft skills and executive excellence. More than 500 entries were received.
