With the 92nd annual Marketing Awards fast approaching, Marketing is revealing the shortlists. After publishing the first and second lists last week, it’s Public Service, Branded Content, Design and all the rest today.

More than 1,500 entries were submitted across 62 categories in all. Submissions for 12 of those categories (in the Multicultural and Design competitions) were separated out to be judged by their own juries. The remaining work was divided roughly into three groups for a preliminary round of online judging by groups of 17 or 18 creatives from across the country—the final in-person jury of 15 plus 38 others who only scored online. Those scores were used by the Marketing Awards co-chairs – Nancy Vonk and Luc Du Sault – to determine the shortlist that moved onto the final round of judging by the live jury of 15.

The winners will be announced May 29 at a gala dinner awards ceremony at the Carlu in Toronto. For ticket information please click here.
