We\u2019ll continue to monitor the situation with regard to public gatherings and if necessary review the rescheduled October date, but for now we\u2019re guardedly optimistic that we\u2019ll be able to go ahead.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cIt also made sense for us to push back the Call For Entries deadline. With virtually our entire industry now working from home, it just hasn\u2019t been practical for Effies entrants to put together their submissions within the original timeframe &#8211; these additional weeks will provide much-needed leeway.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now in their 12th consecutive year, the Effies celebrate the effectiveness of creative communications, recognising campaigns that can demonstrate outstanding measurable results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe Australian Effie Awards ceremony has become a major annual event for the marketing communications industry in Australia, providing both a showcase and a benchmark for excellence in the area that matters most to our clients \u2013 delivering results. The Australian Effies continues to evolve with the changing nature of marketing communications,\u201d Tony said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>All key dates for the rescheduled Effie Awards 2020 are as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>On-Time Call For Entries Close:\u00a0<\/strong>Thursday, 11 June 2020<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Extended &amp; Final Deadline:\u00a0<\/strong>Thursday, 25 June 2020<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Round 1 Online Judging:\u00a0<\/strong>Monday, 27 to Friday,\u00a0 31 July 2020<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Finalists Announced:\u00a0<\/strong>Wednesday, 12 August 2020<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Round 2 Judging:<\/strong>\u00a0Tuesday, 15 September 2020<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Executive Judging Review: Monday,<\/strong>\u00a021 September 2020<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Awards Dinner &amp; Presentation:\u00a0<\/strong>Friday, 30 October 2020<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":19400,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14562\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advertisingcouncil.org.au\/effies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
