Awards

The Digital Cinema Media Awards 2019

Cinema is the most powerful, trusted and premium medium.

The cinema environment offers a unique shared experience that delivers highly attentive audiences that have paid to pay attention.

The darkened room and immersive sound creates the best viewing experience for viewers that are literally looking forward at the big screen with no distractions. Amplifying the power of AV schedules, the cinema medium delivers brand fame, increased ROI and strong emotional connections.

 

It truly is the best seat in media.

To celebrate the power of cinema, the Digital Cinema Media Awards, now in their fifth year in partnership with Campaign, will reward the best campaigns showcased on the big screen by the media industry in the past year. All campaigns must have been exhibited in cinema within the judging period of July 2018 to July 2019. 

The winners were announced on Wednesday 18 September at a red-carpet ceremony at London’s Ham Yard Hotel.
