It gives us great pleasure in announcing this years Annual winners!
New this year we presented the limited edition gold books for the winners in each category. (On top of this we also print 15,000 other copies and distribute them across the globe, to brands and agencies, as well as sending copies to such amazing events as Cannes Lions).
Like everything we do at Creativepool, and unlike a traditional award that just sits on your awards shelf, this gives your work unparalleled exposure.
The work this year was nothing short of incredible. We were genuinely humbled by the response. You will all see this from the quality of the winners who made it into the final publication. As I hope you all know there was 2 parts to the judging, and 2 ways in which you could appear in the Annual. One part was a traditional judging process done by our panel of judges. For those of you who took the time to look at this year's judges - we had an exceptional group. So a big shout out to them, they did an excellent, and difficult job.
Secondly was the People's Choice, we are the only creative award in the world that contains a People's Choice element. The response we had this year far exceeded our expectations with more than 12,000 people having their voices heard. Thank you all for taking the time to vote. Also a big shout out to our partners. We genuinely could not have done this without you. The category partners will be helping me to hand out Annuals to this years winners. Finally, a thank you to our printers Ambrose, who did an incredible job under a very tight deadline. And to Rosie Harriet Ellis for these lovely photos of the Annual!

Thank you everyone who entered and were involved in this years Annual.The response that we had was nothing short of incredible. Our most contested, most international winners, a great judging panel, the best party!
For those of you who didn't make it in - please don't be discouraged as I said at the launch party - this year the standard was incredibly high.
Next year we have a raft of new changes to how it will all be conducted with us splitting the categories further for companies/agencies and individuals. People's Choice will also be a little bit different. And we will be having a even better awards ceremony/party!
If you have any suggestions or feedback - as always please let us know.
Keep up the good work everyone - see you all soon.
