PUSH-3.jpgUPDATED: Brought to you by Candida, Kinetic 121 and New Zealand Post, everyone who is anyone in the advertising and marketing industry will be at Deus Ex Machina in Auckland TONIGHT (17 November) for the 2010 Art Of The Envelope Awards.

 

Kiwi pop star and founder of online t-shirt company Closet, Dave Gibson, will turn MC for the night – make sure you RSVP to ensure you don’t miss out!

 

This year’s Best in Show gets to choose from a prize pool worth $5,000 and each of the category winners will be rewarded with the latest Apple gear, vouchers and much more. Some lucky people will also win the same t-shirt Dave will be wearing on the night!

New Zealand Post’s Fiona Woolley says the calibre of this year’s entries were a reflection of the creative talent of the industry: “As always, whittling the entries down to a handful of finalists was an extremely tough job.”
