Carol H. Williams Advertising, the longest-running independent multi-cultural marketing shop in the country, and AdVenture Media, one of New York’s fastest growing digital agencies, have joined forces with New York Festivals® Bowery Awards to honor the 2020 competition winners.
The Carol H. Williams ‘Together for Better Award’ is a new category that accepts work from each of the Bowery Awards category groups and honors campaigns that promote unity and diversity. Advertising icon and Hall of Famer Carol H. Williams will judge the “Together For Better” creative entries and select the winner who will receive this prestigious award.
“Along with our collaborators and sponsor, Fiverr and AdVenture Media, we’re incredibly honored to announce that Advertising Hall of Famer and Bowery Executive Jury member, Carol H. Williams will be selecting the winning work from this category,” said Scott Rose, executive director, New York Festivals The Bowery Awards.
“Powerful narratives are the shaping force in our lives and thereby creates empathy and motivates action at their most profound level,” said Williams who is owner, president, CEO and chief creative officer of Carol H. Williams Advertising.
AdVenture Media, sponsor of the Bowery Awards, has donated a dedicated amount of prize money to Bowery’s Grand Award-winning freelancers and independent creatives. Prize money will be used to run a paid advertising campaign on behalf of the Grand winners within each category group.
“I’m incredibly honored that the Bowery Awards is giving our agency the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful event,” said Isaac Rudansky, founder and CEO of AdVenture Media. “Few freelancers have the skills, budget, and know-how to profitably advertise their services. It’s not a skill they’ve typically developed. Harder still, paid advertising is ruthlessly competitive. All of us at AdVenture Media felt that the ‘prize’ we offered is more than a prize, AdVenture Media will use its experience, relationships, and data to get the winning freelancers more business.”
The 2020 Bowery Awards Executive Jury will honor the top scoring entry in each category with a Grand Award in the following category groups: Audio, Motion Video, Design, Quarantine Content, Made on Fiverr and the Carol H. Williams “Together For Better’ Awards. Entrants earning a Bowery Award Grand Prize will receive a trio of prizes: a customized trophy, an accelerated path to Fiverr Pro, and $1,000 in AdVenture Media services.
All levels of winners selected by the Bowery Awards Executive and Grand Jury panels will result in a curated winner’s gallery with contact information allowing companies, clients, and representatives to contact the independent creators’ whose work resonates with their needs.
All proceeds of the 2020 Bowery Awards will be donated to Feed the Frontlines NYC.
The deadline for the 2020 Bowery Awards is October 2, 2020. For entry information and categories, click here.
