CAANZ announces changes to sold out Media Awards – takes place Apr 11 at The Langham

CAANZ has announced that all 750 tickets to the 2013 Media Awards have been sold. Not only did this year’s Media Awards receive a record 290 entries, but finalists, members and sponsors scooped up the available tickets before they were released to non-members.

The Langham Hotel will once again host this year’s Media Awards show but CAANZ will be ringing in some changes to the evening’s format. Most notable of these is no dinner break to interrupt proceedings. Pre-dinner drinks have been moved back half an hour to 6.30pm with the show commencing at 7.30pm.

MC Jaquie Brown will be charged with keeping guests entertained throughout the night whilst winners are announced and congratulated.

Missing from the line-up is the legendary After Party. Instead, guests will continue to celebrate and party at the Langham until 1am.

The international judging panel of Anna Chitty (PHD New York), Antony Young (Mindshare North America), Lindsay Mouat (ANZA) and Ian Sutcliffe (AA Smartfuel Limited) have chosen their Best in Show which will be revealed at the gala dinner on Thursday 11th April, along with the other recognition awards and all category gold and silver winners.

CAANZ congratulates all finalists and wishes them the best of luck on the night.
