The Abby Awards and The One Show announce partnership

The organisers of the Abby Awards - which reward creativity, media and communication, annually during Goafest, have announced a partnership with The One Show.

 

Through the partnership, the Abby Awards aim to bring global standards of judging, jury selection and transparency to the awards. The One Show has been running for more than 40 years. The Abby's have been running for more than 50 years (13 of which have been a part of Goafest), having celebrated the milestone in 2018. The last edition of the Abby Awards was held in 2019 with Covid-19 disrupting them in 2020 and 2021.

 

Along with the Indian jury, the partnership will also see a list of international jurors this year.

 

Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity, said, “As the world’s premier non-profit advertising and design awards program, The One Show is delighted to be associated with the Abby Awards of the Ad Club.
