Hotshop Awards 09

Now in its sixth year, the CREATIVE Hotshop Awards are recognised as one of Australia and New Zealand's most distinguished platforms for uncovering and celebrating the region's best professional creative work.

The Hotshop Awards encourage entrants to Show Us Something Different, and that they did.

The awards reward agencies, designers, and production and photography studios that are producing clever, unique and effective solutions for their clients.

A big thank you to this year's sponsors: Curious Film, Digital Press, Resolution and Wacom.
