The MADC Committee has named the judging panels for the 2011 Awards and announces the return of the Finalists’ Lunch.
Ben Welsh, ECD of M&C Saatchi in Sydney, is the Chairman of Judges, overseeing nine different panels in the new judging format.
President of the MADC, Dave Klein, says the changes the Committee has been making to the Club and to the Awards are really starting to pay off.
“We’re really excited to have Ben onboard as Chairman of Judges. And if you look through each of the juries, you’ll see some of the biggest names in Australian advertising and design. Having people of this calibre judging is a real coup for MADC,” Klein said.
The Finalists’ Lunch will be held on Wednesday 14th September. Further details will be released via the MADC website in the coming week.
Judging will take place from 9-11th September and the Awards night is on Friday, 14th October at the Plaza Ballroom on Collins Street.
