The Cairns Crocodiles Awards is the pre-eminent celebration of creativity in the Asia-Pacific region.
Now in its third year, the Cairns Crocodiles Awards lauds the campaigns and craft that help brands stand out while delivering business results, such as increased ROI and boosted brand awareness.
This year there are eight new categories: AI Craft, AI Innovation, Automotive, Retail Media, ANZ Campaign of the Year, East Asia Campaign of the Year, South Asia Campaign of the Year and Southeast Asia Campaign of the Year.
The Cairns Crocodiles Awards is judged by an industry-leading panel.
It’s stuffed with creative talent and leading client-side marketers from around the Asia-Pacific region.
They will be selecting the winners based on criteria with more bite and big-picture thinking than before.
Media Crocodile wins also count towards agencies’ RECMA scores.
