Over 140 companies represented in submissions for inaugural event.
The nominees in the inaugural LIMA Australian & New Zealand Licensing Awards have been revealed.
LIMA said that the response from the industry to the awards had been ‘exceptional’ with over 200 submissions received.
Over 140 companies were represented in the submissions, over 75 different licensed brands and over 40 different retailers.
Notably, such was the volume of submissions, that an additional category – Events Product or Campaign of the Year – had to be added.
“LIMA Australia would like to thank all of the companies who submitted award entries for the first-ever LIMA Australian & New Zealand Licensing Awards evening this November,” said Tony Bugg, md of LIMA Australia.
“We congratulate all of the nominees for 2018 and encourage the industry to continue innovating and achieving excellence across the board so they will be recognised with a nomination at next year’s awards.”
The awards will take place on November 1 at Leonda by the Yarra in Melbourne.
