Gallery: OMA announces quarter one winner of 2018 Creative Collection

The Outdoor Media Association has announced the quarter one winners of its 2018 Creative Collection competition.

Launched in 2013, the competition recognises the most creative and innovative out-of-home (OOH) campaigns.

They are judged across the following categories: Best creative execution, Best use of a special build, Best use of technology and innovation, and Best traditional use of the OOH medium.

There were over 30 submissions made by OMA members for the competition for the first quarter. OMA members include Adshel, APN Outdoor, JCDecaux, oOh!media, Paradise Outdoor Advertising, QMS Media and TorchMedia.

Guest judges for the competition were The Works creative lead Nathan Bilton, APN Outdoor’s campaign delivery manager Nick Henley-Smith, Ikon executive creative director Rob Martin and QMS Media’s national insights and strategy manager Jordana Sherlock.

OMA CEO Charmaine Moldrich said: “The winners of the quarter one Creative Collection Competition show the breadth that the OOH channel spans – from eye-catching traditional campaigns, to bespoke one-off special builds that bring communities together, to timely brand messages that integrate technology – proof that OOH is more than a one-trick pony.”
