Down the years, OOH Advertising Awards (OAA), formerly known as Outdoor Advertising Awards, has consistently created a healthy contest among Indian OOH specialist agencies, creative agencies, media owners, technology companies, among others to win the OAA metals in diverse categories. These are indeed among the most coveted awards, and to preserve its importance for the industry, we have maintained stringent criteria for the entries, and a robust judging process complemented by strict audit of the processes by EY. Today, as Indian OOH expands into multiple areas, we have felt the need to also introduce new award categories that reflect the new business realities. OAA 2024 will deliver a memorable experience to all contestants in the fray.”
The entries will be adjudicated by separate Juries comprising eminent brand marketers and creative heads who have deep knowledge of OOH advertising. The judging will be conducted in two stages – the first, online, and the second, through in-person Jury meets in different cities.
The OAA 2024 metals will be given away at a special awards function that will be organised on July 27, 2024 at Hilton Garden Inn, Embassy Manyata Business Park, Bengaluru, which is also the venue for the OOH Advertising Convention (OAC) 2024.
