The Tomorrow Awards


The Tomorrow Awards Spring call for entries deadline is Friday, April 30th, 2010.

No outdated categories to shoehorn your truly innovative ideas into.

No crossover categories that have you entering the same ad multiple times (with multiple fees).

No campaign categories that still define "campaign" as three pieces of the same medium

.

In fact there are no categories at all. Simply the most groundbreaking work you've ever done.

The first round of Tomorrow Awards judging begins on May 1st, 2010,

and is done by a jury of advertising professionals and enthusiasts from around the world.

Maybe you know some of them.

Maybe you ARE one of them.
