Inaugural Indian Immortal Awards Jury Sends 2 Projects Through as Finalists
As the final few jury sessions of this year’s Immortal Awards approach, an Indian jury sat at the competition for the first time ever on Thursday November 16th.
The India-based jurors were tasked with selecting the market’s inaugural Finalists, cementing their status as the best projects from India in the past year and sending them through to the regional Asian round of judging on Friday November 24th.
A shortlist of 13 projects, which scored highest in the first round of online judging, was whittled down to just two which receive Finalist status.
The Immortal Awards 2023 India Finalists are:
Airtel - Replayed 175 (submitted by Leo Burnett India)
Oreo India - #BringBack2011 (submitted by Leo Burnett India)
The two projects will go up against the best work from around the region at the Asian round of judging on Friday November 24th. They’ll be competing for a place in the final, global round of judging and ultimately a chance at winning an Immortal Award or receiving a Commendation.
