In addition, John Ayling & Associates, OMD, Havas Media, Arena Media, UM, Grand Visual, M/Six, M2M, Initiative, Walker Media, RPI, Compass and Cloud also have shortlisted entries for 2013, the seventh year of the awards. Winners of the five award categories and the over all Grand Prize will be announced at an invite-only event on April 24.
Chris Pelekanou, a judge and Commercial Director at Clear Channel, said: "Planning is fundamental to any successful advertising campaign, even more so now that media is increasingly converging. We know that 2012 was a special year for out-of-home advertising with a plethora of euphoric events providing a backdrop to so many memorable outdoor campaigns. The shortlist proves it.
"Choosing between the large number of entries to create a shortlist that reflects the achievement of the industry over the last twelve months was exceptionally tough, and the shortlisted campaigns can be proud to have stood out in the most competitive set of entries in our seven year history."
Each of the five category winners will receive a prize of £1,000, while the overall Grand Prize winner will receive £30,000 of advertising space with Clear Channel for the winning client and a luxury short break for two for the winning planner. Last year's winner of the Grand Prize was Digital UK's Yorkshire project, which was entered by MediaCom.
