LONDON, UK – The Immortal Awards has today unveiled the shortlist for the inaugural Asia Pacific competition, ahead of the virtual round of judging on Friday 23rd October.
In total, 35 projects from across the region made this year’s shortlist. The 35 highest scoring pieces of work from the first round of judging will be debated in a virtual round of discussions to determine which projects, if any, will receive Finalist status and go through to the final, global round of judging in November.
It is in the final round of judging that projects may be awarded Immortal or Commendation status. So far, 14 projects are through to the final round of judging following the announcements of the seven LATAM Finalists and seven North American Finalists.
