This year includes a new category: \u2018Rising Star\u2019, which recognises talented individuals who are making a significant impact to the creativity and effectiveness of content-led advertising strategies, early on in their careers.<\/p>\n

The World Media Awards are the only awards to celebrate the collaboration between brands, agencies and media partners to create powerful international content campaigns. The Awards are not for profit; every \u00a330 of the \u00a340 entry fee will be donated to Reporters Without Borders<\/a>. The charity protects and supports journalism and freedom of speech around the world, a cause that reflects the ethos of the World Media Group member brands.<\/p>\n

Our \u2018Rising Star\u2019 award aims to surface the very best young talent working for media owners, agencies and brands, and reward them for their innovation and creative thinking in content-driven advertising.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
