After record entries, a panel of 100 industry judges have whittled down the entries to a list of finalists for the AdNews Agency of the Year Awards.  

Congratulations to all who made the cut - the full list is below. Tickets are on sale now

The event is on the 9 March at the Star Sydney, where our partner realestate.com.au will present the 2016 Agency of the Year and this year's Hall of Fame will be announced.

"As a judge in this year’s Agency of the Year Awards, I was blown away by the quality of the work and level of innovation in the industry right now. It’s so encouraging to see brands and agencies creating campaigns that think outside the box to deliver strong results. It’s a fantastic time to be in the media space and REA Group is incredibly excited to hear the winners announced at this year’s awards," says  Mark Roppolo, REA Group executive manager of content and production.

Since we're celebrating 30 years of the awards, it's only right to throw a birthday party so the black tie event will have a pop of colour this year as we celebrate the changing face of the creative industry.

Our presenting partner is realestate.com.au and Twitter is our engagement partner. Our supporting sponsors include Adshel, Facebook, iknowho, Nova Entertainment, Snapchat, The Trade Desk, Think TV and Val Morgan. Associate sponsors are Adstream, BlueStarWeb and Royal Auto.
