With almost 400 submissions this year's Digital Media Awards have seen more entries than ever before, which made the judges decision even harder as the competition was even stronger. After intense deliberation only the best bars have been shortlisted as finalists.
The Digital Media Awards 2023 aims to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements and innovations within the realm of digital media.
After careful consideration and evaluation by our esteemed panel of judges, we have identified a group of outstanding Companies who have demonstrated exemplary dedication and excellence in the Digital Media industry. The competition was fierce, and the quality of submissions received surpassed all expectations.
The winners will be announced at a gala dinner hosted by Anton Savage on Friday the 29th of September in the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin.
