Kyoorius Awards announces 1419 entries across Advertising & Digital Awards categories

The final tally at the 2015 Kyoorius Advertising & Digital Awards is in. 1419 entries have been submitted by Indian agencies and studios, at the second session of the Kyoorius Advertising & Digital Awards. This is a jump of over 40% from last year’s total tally of 988 entries from Advertising & Digital Awards.

Participating agencies include DDB Mudra, Ogilvy & Mather, Madison Group, Grey Worldwide, Contract Advertising, Creativeland Asia, Scarecrow Communication, Linen Advertising, Itsa Brand Solutions, Webchutney, Isobar, Rediffusion Y&R, Ideas@Work and BBH, to name a few.

Rajesh Kejriwal, Founder CEO of Kyoorius said, “This number has been very encouraging, and a sign of acceptance by the industry. Kyoorius thanks all agencies for their support. We look forward to a packed jury session next week as these entries battle it out for Blue and Black Elephants.”

The Kyoorius Awards recognize and award the most outstanding creative work in the Indian visual communications and digital sphere. To this end, Kyoorius, in association with D&AD have endeavoured to create a truly ethical and neutral platform, complete with a jury composed of some of the top creative minds from around the world.

Next week, all jury members for the Advertising & Digital Awards will gather in Mumbai-India to review, discuss and elect the best of the best over an intensive four-day session. To make the judging process as transparent and open as possible, members from the industry are invited to see the jury in action at Nehru Centre from 29th April to 1st May. This is amongst the very few open to public jury sessions around the globe.

Visitors can come in and watch the jury debate the entries, checkout some of the best in Indian creativity and attend four FYIdays conducted by the jury members themselves. This promises to be a source of inspiration for the young blood in the industry as they can witness in person the debates on how juries think, why some works are voted and why some do lose out in the end.

The FYIday sessions will be held at the Hall of Knowledge, Nehru Centre, Worli, Mumbai.
29th April 9am: Tim Doherty – Chief Creative Officer, Isobar China
29th April 6pm: Vicki Maguire – Deputy Executive Creative Director, Grey London
1st May 9am: Andy Sandoz – Creative Partner, Havas Work Club & Deputy President, D&AD
1st May 6pm: Tim Malbon – Co-Founder, Made By Many

Attendance to any of the jury tours and FYIdays is free and open to professionals, media and the community as a whole, but space is limited. Seats for jury tours and FYIdays can be reserved at: https://insider.in/kyoorius-jury-tours-fyidays-2015

The Blue Elephant is recognized as a symbol of the very highest creative achievement. Kyoorius Awards have no winning tier structure – no gold, silver or bronze, and it is the jury’s prerogative to award one or multiple Blue Elephants in any one category, whereas none in another, if entries are not up to the mark. Alongside the winner all nominations will be featured in the Kyoorius Advertising Awards Annual — distributed to over 5000 corporates & creatives across India — providing an invaluable and unrivaled source of creative inspiration.
