New Generation Awards announces 2018 Finalists

The New Generation Awards has announced this year's finalists, with a record number of entries received, from a record number of agencies, corporates and individuals, representing hundreds of South African brands.

“Overall, it is encouraging to see how entries have improved and increased year on year. South African agencies, corporates and students are producing some great work and this is affirmation that the industry is maturing and getting better and can only go from strength to strength if the improvements in the entries over the past few years are anything to go by” says MD Stephen Paxton.

Winners will be announced live at the gala ceremony, on Thursday, 27 September 2018 at Monte Casino, The Ballroom.

To book your team tables or individual seats to attend this year’s gala ceremony, email natasha@lavello.co.za or stephen@lavello.co.za (tickets are not sold online).
