The Majors – Awards that celebrate the best in creative, marketing and digital

There’s a raft of awards out there, but most focus on the success of the business. And, yes, The Majors does that too, however, that's just a tiny part of the way we recognise 'wish-I-did-that' work. For starters, we don't charge for entering our awards which makes them totally accessible, especially to the often unsung freelancers.

'The Majors is about supporting and fostering talent within the creative industries. We work with hundreds of clients, agencies and talented creatives, so we're in a position to give a little something to those who deserve it,' says Allison Upton, Marketing Director of Major Players.

• Reap the rewards of your hard work and set a benchmark within your sector, discipline and industry as a whole
• Gain great PR exposure for you and your company
• Stand out from your peers or competitors
• Show your work to some of the biggest names in the industry
• Attend our awards night to be announced in late October
