Entries will be priced at $30 for all categories, except for entries for the student category, which will be free.
Robin Fitzgerald, Chief Creative Officer, BBDO Atlanta, will return as the 2021 Chief Judge after serving in the same role in 2020. BBDO handles a number of clients including: The Home Depot, Georgia Lottery, Sanderson Farms and Honey Baked Ham.
“It’s an honor to be brought back again as this year’s Chief Judge,” said Fitzgerald. “Last year, we awarded work that rose to the challenge and this year, I eagerly anticipate hearing work that showcases what’s currently happening creatively in radio and audio.”
