This year for the first time, the Loeries, Africa and the Middle East’s biggest brand communication awards, have included Music Videos as a category.
What are the Loeries?
The Loeries recognise creative excellence and innovation at any point at which a brand touches a consumer. Music videos are now integral parts of the communication of the brand message of musicians, which is why this new award category was launched.
Who can enter the Music Video category?
This new award is an opportunity for musicians and creative directors and producers to showcase their music videos and highlight how their production enhances the recording artist’s brand. Entries to the category must have aired commercially ahead of the awards, and should demonstrate quality of execution, originality, and relevance to the market and the artist’s brand.

*note that T’s and C’s apply.
