The Digital Cinema Media Awards 2017

Cinema creates a shared media experience with real cultural moments.

The power of the darkened room, immersive sound and premium content on the biggest screen offers something different for audiences.

The unique, uncluttered environment adds a sense of escapism for viewers who have paid to pay attention. Amplifying the power of AV content, the emotional impact of cinema captivates and entertains, while driving
brand value and sales growth. To showcase the best in cinema, the annual Digital Cinema Media Awards, held in partnership with Campaign, celebrate and reward the most impactful advertising work created by our industry over the last year. 

All campaigns must have been exhibited in cinema within the judging period of July 2016 to July 2017. Enter by Friday 7 July.

The winners were announced on

When: 27 September   •   Where: Red carpet ceremony, Ham Yard Hotel.
