Lockdown creative industry awards 2020

There's no need for industry awards for at least 12 months. I've written up the winners across all categories.

In any normal year, this week would see the start of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Creative, marketing and PR industry events have either been postponed or moved online for at least 12 months.

I don't think there's any need for any awards this year. The individuals and organisations that have excelled during the COVID19 are all in plain sight.

Here are the winners of the Wadds Inc. lockdown awards across all categories. Shout if we’ve missed anything.
