The 63rd Shark Advertising Awards Is Open for Entries

Ireland’s longest running Advertising Awards festival, The Shark Awards, will be held again this year from September 24th to 28th at their historical home in Kinsale, County Cork, with an expected 700 international delegates in attendance. 

Over six decades the Sharks have evolved into one of the most regarded Awards Festival, now with 4 distinct events across the year also encompassing Design (November), Short Films (February) & Music Video (May). 

For Advertising, work can be submitted via their site up until 31st August with a discount scheme for those with 12 or more pieces of work to submit. 

With a total of 30 international industry professionals across 5 separate juries, this is a festival celebrating the very best in international advertising across multiple platforms (including traditional TV, Social Media, Animation, Music & Sound Craft, Post Production and a Best New category recognising up and coming talent: Director, Producer, Editor, DOP, Music Composer, Sound Designer & Colourist). 

The Advertising festival will kick off In Kinsale on Wednesday 24th with an introductory evening followed by a series of scheduled events over the following three days. This is a golden opportunity to network, have fun, be entertained and soak up the wonderful atmosphere in this beautiful Irish coastal town. There are still a limited number of Delegate passes available, strictly on a first-come first-served basis.

Winners of the iconic Shark Awards will be announced in October.
