Kancil Awards and Festival 2020 postponed
17 Jul
The Kancil Awards 2020 and the Kancil Creative Festival 2020 has been postponed until 2021 due to the ongoing global health crisis.
Organised by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents of Malaysia (4As), the Kancil Awards is Malaysia’s longest running advertising awards competition and is attended by major agencies and their creative heads.
“The MCO period has been a difficult time for most agencies and there is a need to now focus on helping clients while ensuring that agency staff are well protected and remain safe and healthy,” said the Organising Chairman of Kancil Awards, Karthi Palasamy. “While various options were considered, including a fully virtual or hybrid event, in the end, the difficult decision was taken to postpone the Kancils till 2021.”
Since 2018, the Kancil Awards have been presented as the culmination of the Kancil Creative Festival, a two-day event that brings together thinkers and do-ers from a variety of disciplines, highlighting the wider creative world beyond the advertising industry. The Creative Festival includes exhibitions, mini workshops, dialogue sessions, and immersive experiences, all serving as a catalyst for a cross fertilisation of ideas, thoughts, and projects.
New dates for the Awards and the Creative Festival will be announced once it has been determined, together with the awards rules and eligibility requirements.
The APPIES is an annual event that presents a rare opportunity for creative, media, digital and marketing agencies or brands to present their best campaigns to the industry.
This is the only event where Live Presentations meets Live Judging.
Similar to TED Talks, The APPIES is the chance for great presenters with outstanding work to show it off to some of the industry’s most important industry leaders.
This year’s winners will receive Gold, Silver or Bronze trophies for 21 categories, and 6 special Best of Best categories (red trophies) that require no submissions!
Campaign entries must have run between June 2024 to May 2025
