Snap poll: how important are other countries' local award shows to your agency?

As many of the people commenting here have only obviously worked locally you'll be unaware that the Kinsale Awards are not just a local Irish award. Most of the big agencies in London enter and have done for the last 25 years or more.

In fact , there'll be much better quality of work from world class agencies like BBH, Weiden etc at Kinsale than there would be at Award.

It's the best award show to attend though.

Makes Cannes seem like the pretentious miasma it is.
