International programme to recognize creativity to be held in Sri Lanka this August
An international programme to recognize creativity in advertising, design, public relations and digital media – Epica Awards – is to be held for the first time in Sri Lanka this August, the local chapter of the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies (4As) has stated.
“Although many local agencies have won recognition at international award shows, as a fraternity we definitely feel the absence of a local platform to showcase work to a jury of international standards, and to engage in healthy competition,” 4A President Sugibun Sathiamoorthy has been quoted as saying in the local media.
“By partnering with Epica Awards, we have the opportunity to organize an international standard event, and to also have a bias-free and objective jury of regional and international journalists to judge all entries.”
The awards started in 1987 and this is the first time the awards ceremony will be held in South Asia.
The Sri Lankan Epica Awards event will take place on the 16th and 17th of August 2019 and will include a one-and-a-half day conference featuring sessions and workshops by local and international creative industry professionals, the local media has reported.
