An
important change this year is the
invitation for nominations for the
Special Achievement Awards. These
categories are free of entry fees
and may be submitted by anyone in
the industry - be it clients, media
owners or agencies.
Shortlisted nominees
will be asked submit a detailed profile
and supporting documents for the final
judging as their credentials are an
important consideration in deciding
the winner.
The Special Achievement
Awards consist of three categories:
1. Media Person of the
Year
2. Young Media Person of the Year
3. Media Sales Person of the Year
The SMA Special Achievement
Awards aim to promote media professionals
as role models who demonstrate commitment
to the development of our media industry
through outstanding performances,
and dedication to innovation and quality.
Harpreet S. Kaintel,
SMA 2008 Chairman, said: “We
are constantly reviewing and seeking
ways to improve and build SMA into
a better show. Hence this year, we
have decided to move the Special Achievement
Awards into one that is nominated
by the industry. By removing the entry
fees and changing the selection process,
we hope to encourage greater participation
from all sectors of the industry,
providing a sterling recognition of
a media talent.”
The Singapore Media
Awards established in 2005 is Singapore’s
most prominent award for media professionals.
It recognises the importance of outstanding
media practices and strategies that
contribute to the success and results
of an advertising campaign. The spirit
of the Awards encourages media excellence,
celebrating significant achievements
and contributions of Singapore’s
media talents.
Entries and nominations
will be accepted until 27 June, 2008.
