The Immortal Awards has announced Big Kahuna Films is continuing its sponsorship of the MEA jury for this year’s competition.
The continued partnership reinforces both firms’ commitment to showcasing the region’s best creative projects, companies and individuals to a global audience.
The Immortal Awards has introduced the regional jury days in 2020 to ensure creativity from across the globe is judged equally, with local based creatives who have knowledge of the market and understand its cultural nuances.
Last year the MEA jury came together to judge when Big Kahuna Films hosted the jury day in October. The regional jury selected six projects to qualify for the global round as finalists, with Impact BBDO’s Ali Rez joining the global jury to give the region an equal voice in the final round.
Eddy Rizk, ceo at Big Kahuna Films, said: “Big Kahuna Films has played a major role in the regional production scene from its early days, by actively participating in its formation, growth and maturation, catering to the fast-paced evolution and demands of the creative industry.
“We are thrilled to be continuing our partnership with LBB by sponsoring The Immortal Awards for the second consecutive year to further help shape and commemorate great work that this growing market is producing.”
“Since launching our regional MEA jury in 2020, we’ve been blown away by the quality of the creative ideas that we’ve seen.
“ In our continuous endeavor to showcase and recognize globally creatives from the region, we’re excited to see this year’s work in the competition and can’t wait to be back on the ground, judging in person, later this year.” adds Paul Monan, Awards Director.
