“A vivid eye-catching ad that makes great use of colour balanced against dark background to draw the eye. The illustration creatively conveys the spirit of an arts festival. There is also good work done to convey the important details in an easy to find manner while not becoming cluttered.”
Newspapers compete against other newspapers of similar circulation for special awards in such categories as editorial, photography, advertising, and special promotion. The 2020 BNC Awards of Excellence were presented to winners in an online ceremony in May 2021.
