The Real Media Awards recognize exceptional work across various sectors of the visual media industry, including print, publishing, media, and marketing. The Visual Media Association (VMA) has just announced the awards finalists who, according to CEO Kellie Northwood: “this year demonstrate how blending creative thinking with production excellence across campaigns enables results that connect meaningfully with audiences.”
There are over 30 categories for Real Media Awards entries, including Major Awards for Brand, Publisher, Retailer, and Agency of the Year, as well as specialized awards for areas such as sustainability, digital integration, and creative excellence. The awards aim to honour the creativity and effectiveness of campaigns developed through strong partnerships between businesses and their clients.
Northwood acknowledged the judging panel, ‘who undertook the challenging task of reviewing an exceptional field in a short timeframe’, adding: “Whether through catalogue, packaging, publishing or point of sale, our finalists are producing work that is strategic, impactful and beautifully executed.”
Real Media Awards 2025 winners will be formally announced at the upcoming ‘What’s Your Pantone?’ themed gala evening, being held at Zinc in Federation Square in Melbourne on Friday 10th October.
Event sponsors include IVE Group, Pegasus Media & Logistics, RICOH Australia, SBM, and Spicers.
