We’ve been hearing a lot from our readership about their plans to apply for the 2015 Media Innovation Awards, which is very exciting. We’re getting the sense though that everyone could use a bit more time to get their applications in, so we’re happy to announce that we’ll be extending the deadline by a few days.
The new date to get your 2015 MIAs applications in is Monday, September 14th, at 5:00pm EST.
Be sure to read the category listings carefully for changes that have been made in 2015. In particular, be on the lookout for what you’d like to submit to the new Best Idea category (no submission fee is required). As we highlighted earlier, this new award will be the industry’s choice for the most thought-provoking concept they saw in Canadian media this year. It may not have had the biggest budget, but it made us all stop and think, “I wish I had thought of that.” We need your submissions and ideas to this category so that the jury can select the top four entries during the judging days in early October. We’ll then put these top four entries to a public vote and announce the winner at our Media Innovation Awards Gala on November 12th in Toronto.
In case you’d like to get an early start on your social calendar for the fall, tickets to the 2015 MIAs Gala are already available to purchase through the awards site. This year’s gala will take place at the Westin Harbour Castle.
We’re looking forward to seeing your submissions — be sure to mark September 14th in your calendars.
