Companies from all over the South West have been shortlisted for awards, with Plymouth and Bristol gaining strong representation in a number of categories.
Karen Stockdale of the Media Innovation Awards said, “The Media Innovation Awards have gained a reputation for showcasing only the finest work in the region and all the companies nominated have done extremely well as only work of the highest calibre has been shortlisted by the judges.”
The judges decided not to shortlist the Mobile Communications and Multi-platform Project entries as there was a clear winner in each of these categories.
The awards recognise the innovative use of media and design in the region, and members of the creative industry from Cornwall through to Dorset and Gloucestershire were invited to enter the awards.
Other sponsors are University College Falmouth, Audio Network, Fentongollan, Skillset and Foot Anstey.
