22.05.12
The jury for the awards include Agnello Dias, founder, Taproot India; Prathap Suthan, chief creative officer, iYogi and founder, The Advisory; Priti Nair, founder, Curry-Nation; and Raj Nair, ECD, Contract Advertising.
The organisers say that the jury is one of the biggest USPs of the awards. "The four persons have proven credentials in heading juries of a similar nature at national and international levels," says Oommen Kurian, chairman, Pepper Creative Awards Trust.
Like every year, the sixth edition of Pepper will have an exclusive category for participants from Kerala, covering jewellery, real estate, textile, hospitality, ayurveda and other industries.
The awards had registered approximately 1,000 entries till 2010. However, in 2011, there were only 750 entries due to the slowdown. "We are expecting more than 1,500 entries for the competition, which has become a stepping stone for the creative fraternity from this part of the world to take part in other major peer-reviewed national and international competitions," says Sudeep Kumar, president, Advertising Club of Cochin.
