Who doesn’t want to win awards?

The Shortlist can drastically increase your chance of winning at any global advertising award shows. That means more bang for your buck and a little more to show-off.

This year, Zee wants more South East Asian advertising professionals to have a shot at the global spotlight. So Zee is sponsoring your entries to The Shortlist. So it’s free.

So, Why The F*** Not?

Review in progress!

The Background

Awards will always hold a special place in every advertising professional’s heart, be it a CCO or a junior copywriter. But as more great work is getting celebrated and competition is getting stiffer, it’s significantly more complicated to win. RoI, too, is playing a significant role for brands and businesses. So the entries need to be sharper and more calculated.

There are proven ways to win, and we at Kyoorius want to bring them to you. Presenting, ‘The Shortlist.’ It helps you celebrate creativity and bring home more awards at a lesser cost without compromises.

What is
The Shortlist?

The Shortlist will help agencies focus their energies on the ideas that are most likely to win. A panel of experts evaluates your entries and gives you vital feedback. This highly needed sense-check from award winners themselves is the game-changer.

The benefits of entering The Shortlist:

  1. Entries are evaluated by a consortium of the world’s leading experts and global award winners.

  2. Helps you find out if your work has a chance to be shortlisted at global award shows such as The One Show, D&AD, ADC Awards.

  3. The review will have tips to improve the case study or narrative, overall improving your chances of making it to the global stage.

  4. The review will help identify categories that is most suitable for your work.

  5. Validates in-house reviews.

  6. Rationalises entry costs by maximising your metal-winning chances.

In short, The Shortlist is a review that tells you if your entry is likely to win big at major global award shows and ways to improve if it needs more work.

The Shortlist is NOT an award.

Success Stories

  • "The Shortlist is not for those who believe in luck. It's for those who like to be prepared, who yearn for constructive critique & who want to spend their award budgets as smartly as possible. Until the Shortlist existed, getting focused feedback from the industry's best minds on your potential award submissions was entirely dependent on your personal network & networking skills. Not anymore."

    PG Aditiya, CCO & Co-Founder, Talented

  • “The teams working on Code Name: Uri and The 8-Bit Journo by Vice Media knew the ideas had a good chance of performing well on the international award circuit. However, The Shortlist took our insights and pointers and made them much sharper. It helped us narrow down the categories to target, making our case studies more precise."

    Team Dentsu Webchutney

  • While 15 minutes without the internet feels like an eternity, 7 million Kashmiris lived in a blackout for more than 142 days. With the blackout, the people of Jammu & Kashmir found their lives brought to a screeching halt. Until VICE and Denstu Webchutney came together, to give updates to lakhs of Kashmiris through #The8BitJourno: The world’s first teletext SMS portal.
