The winners of the Creative Moment Awards 2020!
It's been a huge year for creative excellence and we're proud to have recognised and rewarded some of the very best.
Creative Moment is for creatives, by creatives with features written by those working in the industry with their unique and experienced insight.
So, naturally, the Creative Moment Awards are the only awards judged exclusively by creatives.
Our judges understand the processes and the challenges of creating exceptional work.
Here are all our brilliant winners and those that have been highly commended for their creativity.
Thank you to everyone who took the time and effort to enter and all our finalists.
When we launched the Creative Moment Awards this year we said that we'd donate 10% of everyone's entrance fee to The Trussell Trust. So we're really pleased to announce that because of your support we're able to donate £3,744 to The Trussell Trust to assist its work to end the injustice of people needing foodbanks in the UK.
We look forward to seeing you again next year where we aim to return bigger and better in 2021!
