NGEN Award entries open soon, with the brief available on 25 June. This prestigious award showcases bright, creative talent in media agencies and media owners, featuring a real-life charity brief that could turn into a live campaign. Plus it’s a chance for NGEN stars to shine before the industry’s top leaders at the MFA Awards.

But sometimes, even the brightest stars need encouragement to see their own brilliance. So, step up and nudge them to step forward.

Before the brief lands later this month, encourage your NGEN superstars to:
