With judging for this year’s Immortal Awards now well underway, the Finalists from the Nordics jury session have now been revealed.
On Friday October 4th the jury met online to pore over the shortlist, which was composed of the 16 highest scoring projects from the online round of judging.
The jury discussed and debated the projects and, ultimately, four of them were identified and championed as the best of Nordic commercial creativity from the past year.
They also qualify for the European round of judging and will compete alongside the best work from the rest of the region for a place on the global shortlist.
The Immortal Awards 2024 Nordics Finalists are:
ChildX - The Unusual Suspects (submitted by NORD DDB Sweden)
Getinge - Heart Surgeon's Cookbook (submitted by Forsman & Bodenfors)
Talita - Trafficking Incorporated (submitted by Akestam Holst)
Visit Sweden - Visit Sweden (not Switzerland) (submitted by Forsman & Bodenfors)
The four projects will go up against
the five Irish Finalists, as well as those from the forthcoming European jury days – including the Netherlands, UK, Germany, France and Spain – as well as the best work from the rest of the region at the European round of judging on Thursday October 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 Commendation.
