Young Spikes Competitions 2021 are open for entries
09 Sep
Spikes Asia today announced that the Young Spikes Competitions in 2021 are open for entries.
Aimed at creatives who are aged 30 or under and employed in advertising and communications businesses, the Young Spikes Competitions provide Asia Pacific’s next generation of creative talent a unique chance to gain recognition and make their mark on the industry.
The Young Spikes Integrated Competition and the Young Spikes Film Competition will adopt a new online format in line with Spikes Asia’s awards-only celebration of creativity in 2021.
Steve Latham Head of Talent & Training at Cannes Lions and Spikes Asia said; “It is so important to support the young talent in our industry especially during these times. In place of the competitions that usually happen during the festival, we decided to introduce these online competitions to provide young creatives from across APAC with an opportunity to showcase their talents at the region’s most prestigious creative branded communications accolade.”
This year’s brief is developed in collaboration with non-profit environmental organisation Conservation International to tackle the problem of ‘overfishing’ and the effects on climate change.
Teams competing in the Integrated competition will need to produce an innovative idea and communicate it creatively to the intended audience.
Those who enter the Film competition must first craft a storyboard and if they have been shortlisted, shoot an engaging video advertisement.
