All the 2021 Supersonic New Generation Awards finalists

Submissions have improved and increased year-on-year, with South African corporates, agencies and students producing some truly remarkable work. This is an affirmation that the industry is developing at a much faster pace than in previous years. “Looking through this year’s entries has shown me 'that even through difficult times, South Africans, move forward, get stuck in and conquer," comments New Gen’s founder, Stephen Paxton.

Teams have become more technically minded, smarter strategies can be seen across multiple platforms, resulting in clever content and greater reach and engagement, and the results achieved across a number of campaigns has been phenomenal.

“I would like to thank our esteemed judges for all their hard work over the past two weeks marking this year's entries, and to our headline sponsors Supersonic, Gold sponsors Futuretech Media and Bronze sponsors Wunderman Thompson for your invaluable support and to everyone that entered the awards. You have outdone yourselves and showcased some truly exceptional work.”

Singer, songwriter and actress Relebogile Mabotja, will host this year’s hybrid awards show, which will be held on 23 September at The Dome, Hybrid Studios – Johannesburg and starts at 7PM. Entertainment comes to you from music prodigy - James Deacon.

The full virtual ceremony is free to watch and will be streamed live on www.newgenawards.co.za. To book tickets to attend the physical Hybrid Awards Ceremony, please contact az.oc.olleval@ahsatan – Tickets are limited to the first 50 people, due to Covid-19 restrictions.
