The nominations for The Drum Chip Shop Awards are live, and it's apparent that there's an exciting crop of new and established creatives competing for the hallowed Chip and recognition of their ads that never ran.
Chip Shop Nominations
The show is intent on fostering and recognising creativity with "no boundaries and no rules". This year’s finalists – including Loaf Creative, ElevenBlack, Now Advertising Ltd, SLG, School of Communication Arts, rrdcreative – are a shining example of these principles, and the full list of nominees can be found here.
The work was entered into categories including best ad from the future, best political ad, best vandalism of an existing ad, best use of honesty, best ad without a headline – and many more. On the day, a winner will be selected for each.
