OMAC has unveiled the list of finalists for its new OOH award, which is celebrating the best ads for the platform in the consumer packaged goods category.
Entrants into the award are going through a two-phase judging process, with the first level having been completed last week as industry judges, including Claude Carrier from DentsuBos, Anthony Chelvanathan from Leo Burnett, Nancy Crimi-Lamanna from BBDO and Jon Webber from Zulu Alpha Kilo, looked over the work. The finalists now go on to be reviewed by the BrandSpark Canadian Shopper Panel, who will judge the ads based on their ability to communicate the intended message.
