PRESS RELEASE
Montreal, December 12, 2019 – The A2C and Xn Québec invites agencies, advertisers, producers, and digital content creators in the creative communications and digital industries to submit their projects for the Idéa and NUMIX Awards today.
Even though these two Award Shows are separate and are meant to showcase different categories of projects, they both exist within a common creative ecosystem. That’s why this year, they are teaming up to offer a special discount for combined entries. Applications sent to both Award shows will benefit from a 15% discount on the NUMIX AWARDS registration platform on numix.ca.
Idéa Awards: a highly anticipated first edition
Agencies, studios, advertisers and producers are invited to submit their advertising, design, digital, technology, business results, strategy, and craft projects. Every entry must be received by January 31, 2020. For the media projects, the submission period will run from January 6 to February 21, 2020. One additional week will be granted if physical and electronic components need to be sent. Please note that no extension will be allowed this year in any discipline.
One jury per discipline – made up of recognized professionals from the creative communications industry – will evaluate the projects submitted. Jury Chairs will be announced in January.
