Agencies and production companies: Registrations close tomorrow (5pm Friday New York time) for the 29th LIA Awards with final entry deadline by the end of August.
Do you have work that you are proud to have in The LIA Book? This is your chance to have the world’s top creative minds see, critique and honour your creativity. About 100 top and talented creative people from all over the globe will convene in Las Vegas to judge LIA’s 29th competitions.
This year, LIA has added an additional medium to the competition – Branded Entertainment. Under the Branded Entertainment umbrella, judges will award creative solutions that is funded by and complementary to a brand’s marketing strategy. This means the work must bear the brand’s personality, positioning and marketing objectives. The idea can encompass any piece of content, scripted or unscripted, a comedy or drama as a single submission or a series. It can also take any form, be it film, television, live event, gaming, or music video. One of the main criteria is that it must be entertaining and engaging.
New for 2014, LIA has added a competition for Branded Entertainment. Branded Entertainment will award creativity and the power of the idea across films, television programming, live events, online content, gaming and music videos that engage consumers by entertaining them, rather than through traditional advertising.
The Branded Entertainment Jury will be chaired by Jimmy Smith, chairman / CEO / chief creative officer, Amusement Park Entertainment.
LIA honours creativity in fifteen unique media: Billboard, Branded Entertainment, Design, Digital, Integration, Music Video, Non-Traditional, Package Design, Poster, Print, Radio & Audio, The NEW, TV/Cinema/Online Film, TV/Cinema/Online Film – Music & Sound and TV/Cinema/Online Film – Production & Post-Production.
