The Digital Cinema Media Awards 2016

Cinema creates a shared media experience with the WOW factor

The power of the darkened room, immersive sound and awe-inspiring screen creates a unique, uncluttered environment where people have actually paid to pay attention.

Amplifying the power of AV content, the emotional impact of cinema captivates audiences, drives brand value and sales growth. The annual Digital Cinema Media Awards, launched in 2015 in association with Campaign, celebrate and reward the best advertising work showcased in cinema by the media industry over the last year. We want to champion your work and the cinema medium.

The winners were announced on

When: 22 September   •   Where: Red carpet ceremony, Ham Yard Hotel.
