The PANI Awards are a cornerstone of the PANI association and are always an eagerly anticipated date in the advertising calendar. Our awards offer our industry members, suppliers and colleagues, the opportunity to celebrate the best creativity across Northern Ireland and to showcase outstanding achievement on a national stage. These are creative awards and they will celebrate the creativity of our industry professionals.
This year, the 14th PANI Awards will present Gold, Silver and Bronze awards in the prestigious surroundings of the Culloden Hotel. We look forward to receiving a superb calibre of entries across all categories and to hearing about all the winners on our Gala Night on Thursday 19th October. 2017
Good luck to all entrants.
