An 18-strong brand-and-agency panel, chaired by ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 global editor-in-chief Claire Beale, will select winners of the 2019 Digital Cinema Media Awards from the entrants below at the start of next month.

The victors from six categories, plus the Grand Prix winner, will be announced and celebrated on Wednesday 18 September at a red-carpet ceremony at London’s Ham Yard Hotel. Prizes include a red carpet experience for four people and a cinema screen-time campaign to the value of £100,000.

This is the fifth year of the free-to-enter awards, run by Digital Cinema Media, in partnership with ±±¾©Èü³µpk10. They were established to reward the best campaigns showcased on the big screen by the media industry. Last year, Coty Consumer Beauty UK and Zenith walked off with the Grand Prix for Max Factor’s "Putting a spotlight on the leading ladies of cinema".

There are two new categories for 2019, created to recognise the ways advertisers are creating bespoke content for cinema and how cinema has become an integral part of an advertiser's launch campaigns.
