The 2018 Kancils

> Two-day creative festival and awards ceremony featuring a stellar cast of internationally-acclaimed judges

THERE are just a few days more before the exciting 2018 Kancil Awards on July 27, and the two-day Kancil Creative Festival on July 26 and 27. This year, to the theme “Celebrating Humanity in Creativity, Technology and Culture”, the creative festival will be a first, while the awards ceremony is said to be unprecedented, organised by The Association of Accredited Advertising Agents of Malaysia (4As).

The “renewed” Kancils brings with it many stimulants to stir one’s creative juices. In an industry first, “Take a Peek Inside the Jury Room” allows a select group of young rising stars (under 30), to be a “fly on the wall” under the roof of the jury room at the Kancils. “A Chat with the Chiefs” also provides the creative fraternity with a rare opportunity to “listen and learn” from the Kancils 2018 jury (refer collage of the creative greats) as they discuss their insights and observations, perspectives that work and that don’t.

Going forward, the 2018 Kancils introduces new award categories – The Culture Kancils, Kancil for Good and The Effective Kancils.

Special jury members called in to evaluate these categories include head of Pusaka Eddin Khoo; AirAsia Foundation executive director Yap Mun Ching; and Yayasan Chow Kit founder Dr Hartini Zainudin. With just days to go before the much-anticipated festival and awards ceremony, ensure you have your passes. Find out more, including how to get your hands on these at www.kancilawards.com
