Award Show Bedlam! Who’s ready for the Tomorrow Awards?

This is it! The Public Judges did their thing, the Monster Judges did theirs, and now we are only days away from the semi-annual Tomorrow Awards Conference & Ceremony! The last one was in the IHAVEANIDEA headquarters of Montreal, Canada, but this time around, we’re bringing the future of advertising to Amsterdam! Ignacio and Brianna are already in town, making all of the last minute preparations for what is bound to be another crazy and very inspiring day next Tuesday.

For those still interested in attending, there are still some tickets left. For all the details, visit the Conference web page.

Of course, in order for there to be winners announced on Tuesday, there has to be a shortlist. Fortunately that’s where you, the loyal IHAVEANIDEA fan, came in. Last week, you and hundreds just like you went through tons of entries and selected a collection of 56 kick-ass entries that moved onto the Monster Judges on Monday.

Some notes:

• USA! USA! American entries took home almost half of the shortlist positions, with 27 pieces making the list. This was followed by Canada, with ten, and Brazil, with seven.
• The Yanks may have had the most entries on the shortlist, but the Brits were batting 1.000. Every single entry from the United Kingdom made it to the shortlist.
• Ogilvy Brasil had the most entries survive to the shortlist, followed by perennial Tomorrow Awards darlings Google Creative Lab, previous Tomorrow Award winners AKQA and previous shortlister Cole & Weber United.
