Celebrating and rewarding digital effectiveness and excellence, The Dadi's (Drum Awards for the Digital Industries) are open to anyone in the UK who is doing great digital work and producing effective digital strategies.

The initial panel for this year’s Dadi Awards was revealed earlier this year, and as the closing date for entries arrives– 31 May 2013 – a host of new judges have been confirmed.

The latest names coming on board to help judge the most effective campaigns and strategies being produced by the UK’s digital creative industry include EMEA gaming manager at Facebook, Bruce Bale; Craig Hepburn, Nokia’s global digital and social media director; and Charly Classen, senior director commercial, digital and marketing at ESPN.

Judging will once again be chaired by Podge founder Phil Jones.

Alongside Jones, this year’s panel will also include Jo Hill, global interactive marketing director at Intercontinental Hotel Group; Gilda Manfrin, digital content and social media coordinator at Versace; Dennis Valle, direction of communication at Dolce Gabbana; Trevor Chambers, Cubo’s group creative director; and Natalie Gross, CEO at Amaze.

Sponsoring the event will be Digilant, Exponential, Go ON UK, Green Square, Manual Link Building and Millennial Media.

Log on to the Dadi Awards website today to make a submission.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony taking place on 10 October, coinciding with BIMA's D-Day when agencies and digital professionals will be giving up a little bit of their time to go into a local school and share some of their wisdom with kids about life in the digital industry.

You can still register to get involved with BIMA's D-Day 2013 via the dedicated website or The Drum's registration page.
