via Honours for best adverts – The Zimbabwean 17 March 2015
Zimbabwe’s advertising communications industry will honour the best advertising in the country during 2014 at the DStv Ngoma Awards, scheduled to be held in Harare in early April.
The Ngoma awards are designed to recognise and reward excellence in advertising communications and have been held each year since 2005. Based on entries from advertising agencies and other individuals and organisations, the awards competition is adjudicated by a panel of local judges and an international judge, and awards are handed out in more than a dozen categories.
The overall award for campaign of the year is the most prestigious of the selection and will this year be named the Feel Every Moment Award, as a result of continued support from MultiChoice Zimbabwe, which is also this year’s title sponsor.
“We are delighted with the support from MultiChoice, as well as from our other sponsors, and this has enabled the competition to be run for 10th year, with a record number of entries from a large number of entrant organisations,” said Judy Macdonald, a member of the organising team.
The deadline for entries at the end of January saw almost 320 entries in the various categories. Judging is now taking place and the awards presentation will take place at a glittering luncheon on Saturday April 11, an event open to anyone interested or involved in advertising, marketing, sales and public relations, as well as from the media.
“We are hoping for a good turnout of industry professionals this year, especially from among the sales and marketing managers who control the advertising decision-making within corporates. They have not attended in the numbers they should in recent years, and we feel it is important for them to see what is happening within the advertising communications industry and be part of the process of change and development,” said Ms Macdonald.
