The battle for Media Agency of the Year features Omnicom agencies M2M, Manning Gottlieb OMD and PHD as well as WPP’s Maxus and MEC and the largest independent shop the7stars.
This year’s hotly contested Sales Team of the year pits BSkyB against Guardian News & Media, ITV, JCDecaux, Twitter and Weve.
Those vying for Media Brand of the Year in 2014 include the London Evening Standard and Independent’s ESI Media, Global Radio, Guardian News & Media, Twitter and Weve.
Elsewhere, entries from Channel 5, Digital Cinema Media, Facebook and Gravity Road, are also in the mix.
The first stage of the judging process involved more than 100 judges –
Arif Durrani, editor of Media Week, said: "Due to an unprecedented number of entries, the first round of this year’s Media Week Awards judging process has been brutal. Nearly half of those who entered did not progress through to the next round, so many congratulations to everyone who did make it on to shortlists this year.
"I do feel for those of you left feeling cheated. I hope there is some solace in knowing we’ve never had a year where the competition has been so fierce. The standard of entries has also notably moved on, with the most succinct and persuasive entries becoming something like art forms in themselves."
The co-chairs of this year's awards are Claudine Collins, managing director of MediaCom, and Bruce Daisley, managing director of Twitter UK.
The Media Week Awards 2014 will be held on 23 October at the Grosvenor House. To book tables on the night visit
