LONDON, UK – The Immortal Awards unveils the four projects that have received Finalist status in the first-ever Asia Pacific competition, sending them through to the final, global round of judging in November.

The Asia Pacific jury discussed, debated and deliberated over the 35 project shortlist to decide which projects, if any, would represent the region in the global judging session in November.

The four projects that the jury selected as Finalists will now compete against the Finalists from the remaining four regions for Immortal and Commendation status, including the seven projects that each of the LATAM, North American and MEA juries awarded Finalist status to.

A massive congratulations to the four entrants that have got this far and, of course, good luck against the work from the remaining regions.”
