28 more sleeps till The Amys turn 21!
Sydney, Australia – 12th February, 2015 – AIMIA is excited to announce that leading Australian performer Eddie Perfect will host the digital industry’s night of nights, the annual AIMIA Awards. As a regular fixture on the Australian Comedy Circuit and most recently hosting the 2014 Melbourne Comedy Festival Oxfam Gala, Eddie will be keeping the laughs rolling and provide plenty of entertainment for the evening.

The Amys are the most prestigious and longest running Australian digital awards - two decades on, the annual ceremony is still regarded as the networking event of the year for the digital industry. The judging process for the 21st Annual Awards has evolved to reflect changes and innovation in the industry. The changes uphold the integrity of being awarded an Amy as a true mark of digital excellence.

“Our finalists have demonstrated an extraordinary level of talent and surpassed the expectations of over 100 online expert judges and our in-house judging panel of industry leaders”, said Rob Wong, CEO of AIMIA. “As the Digital Industry Association of Australia we value our role in recognising and awarding digital campaigns that truly break new frontiers and I personally look forward to celebrating all our finalists at the event.”

At the ceremony, finalists whose work not only surpassed the judging criteria and the competition, but who also raised the bar and pushed the boundaries will be awarded an Amy. The Amys will also recognise the different levels of achievement and outstanding work produced over the past twelve months.

The AIMIA Awards will be held on Thursday, 12th March, 6pm at Sydney Town Hall. Tickets for the event can be purchased online here
