The Australasian Writers and Art Directors Association (AWARD) announced major changes to its awards.
The 41st AWARD Awards has an expanded list of categories, including Health and Wellbeing, Media and a Creative Strategy strand.
AWARD Chair Cam Blackley, from M&C Saatchi, says the revamp better aligns the awards with international creative award shows.
This year AWARD program will include a three-day festival of industry events March 25-27.
Categories have also been expanded across the board to appeal to a wider range of entrants, reflecting a renewed push to fairly represent the best creative output from across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.
This includes the addition of several new sub-categories in Design and across all of the Craft strands.
