EVCOM Industry Awards 2021

This we celebrate the EVCOM Industry Awards (which encompasses three awards schemes: the EVCOM Clarion Awards, the EVCOM London Live Awards and the EVCOM London Film Awards), in the only awards platform that recognises excellence in both craft and communications across the live, screen and digital communities.

EVCOM Clarion Awards

The Clarion Awards recognises cause-driven live and film work in the corporate sector.

In 2020, we saw the two sectors that EVCOM represents (live and film), come together through the growth of virtual and hybrid in response to Covid-19. In reflection of this, and due to the nature of the work produced in 2020, we decided to make some exciting changes to the format of the EVCOM Clarion Awards. Instead of work being judged by one of two distribution channels (Live and Film) we looked at ALL work that answers to the over-arching theme of the category. We therefore called for work encompassing film (live action and/or animation), documentary, branded content, live events, virtual events, hybrid events, experiences, campaigns and collaborations, including projects that have pivoted in any way.

Juries were made up of members from Event Agencies, Film Agencies, Clients, Suppliers including technology platforms, to ensure the full spectrum of expertise was brought to the process. 

As a result of the continuing impact of Covid-19 on our sector, we decided to retain 2020’s lowered entry costs for 2021, including a dedicated rate for freelancers.

Shortlisted agencies and individuals were invited to attend an entirely sustainable virtual awards ceremony on the 8th June, hosted in collaboration with DRPG. The afternoon featured screenings of the winning films as they are announced, as well as invaluable thought leadership content from industry experts! You can view the shortlist here. You can find a write up of the ceremony, as well as the full list of winners here.

EVCOM London Live and Film Awards

The EVCOM London Live and Film Awards call for the most creative and progressive work being created by agencies and individuals today. We instigated new categories, to reflect the impact of Covid-19 on our sector, and the virtual/ hybrid nature of so many events. Find out more about our new 2021 categories here.

We understand that entering awards can be an expensive business, so we had early bird rates available until Friday 25th June. We also had a special price point for freelancers to enter their work. You can find the full shortlist here. 

This year, the event was held at The May Fair Hotel and was a night of glamour and celebration! Read our writeup of the evening, including a full list of winners, here – congratulations to all of them! Enjoy photos from the evening here.
