The European Sponsorship Association (ESA), the sponsorship industry’s membership collective, has today announced the entries shortlisted for its coveted 2019 ESA Awards, to be held at Café de Paris, London on Thursday 28th February 2019.
Now in its 12th year, the 2019 ESA Awards provides the springboard for agencies, brands and rights holders to enter their best in class campaigns to a judging panel comprising European senior sponsorship and engagement marketing professionals.
The discerning awards ceremony will see winners crowned from a myriad of sponsorship disciplines and events that cover such areas as sports, arts, digital and community.
The full shortlist for the 2019 ESA Awards is available now.
Andy Westlake, ESA Awards Chairman said
“We have another terrific event lined up this year with an extraordinary number of really strong entries. Yet again we’ve seen the number and quality of awards increasing with submissions from more brands, agencies and rights holders than ever before. We’ve also seen more entries from new European markets this year. As always, it will be a tough job for the judges to reach a consensus on the category winners!
I’m really looking forward to the 28th February at Café de Paris, where we’ll be able to celebrate the very best of the European sponsorship industry. The ESA Awards, alongside our recently announced partnership with Cannes Lion, continues to put creativity and effectiveness at the heart of our mission to inspire, unite and grow the sponsorship industry.”
The ESA Awards showcases outstanding work, through creative, emotive and innovative sponsorship campaigns. The awards include ESA Best of Europe and ESA Sponsorship of the Year, as well as sector-focused categories such as the Arts & Culture Sponsorship award.
Winners of the 2019 ESA Awards will be announced at the prestigious ceremony to be held at London’s famous Café de Paris on the evening of 28th February 2019.
