Award submissions can be tedious affairs. The prospect of preparing all those facts and figures to prove ROI and effectiveness. The pages and pages of do’s and don’ts. The sometimes nonsensical category choices. Well here’s some good news. If you’ve longed for some straightfoward awards that exist solely to reward a bloody good idea, you’ve just found them. Here are The Chip Shop Awards!
The Chip Shops celebrate the idea, not its context. Good ideas win. Bad ideas don’t win. End of. They’re about fostering and recognising creativity with no boundaries and no rules.
Now in their seventh year, we anticipate that this year’s international Chip Shop Awards will be the best ever. Why? Well, because Swamp’s Creative Director, Andrew Brown, is judging them.
Andrew is no stranger to judging top awards, having already been on the panel for Cream, New York Festivals, FAB and the D&AD. For the Chip Shops he sits on an another esteemed panel which includes the likes of JWT, Glue and Leo Burnett. You can see them all here (cool pic Drew!).
So why not dig out that ace project you made for a client that never saw the light of day? Or resurrect that great advertising idea you had for a brand that you don’t even work for. You can enter the Chip Shops with anything. In fact, it’s only limited by your imagination. If it’s a great idea, it might win. Tell your pals (and buy Andrew lots of lager). http://www.chipshopawards.com/
