After three decades as Singapore’s only local creative awards, GONG
2012, in a spanking new format, recognizes people with creative
courage in the industry who are bold enough to raise the creative bar;
clients who are courageous enough to buy and run the work; planners
who show fearlessness in risking new strategies; directors, producers,
photographers and designers who possess the guts to be original and
different.
“Creativity does not just belong to the creative department. It is
about stepping out of our comfort zone, daring to take risks and do
something bold and unexpected. Collaboration of creative talents
produces differentiation in great work.” Tay Guan Hin Chairman & Jury
President, Regional Executive Creative Director, JWT.
Organized by The 4As, GONG 2012 recognizes creative talents who have
put Singapore on the global map, champions clients who were (and are)
brave enough to push the limits of creativity, honours unsung heroes
and young talents who have helped to grow Singapore’s creative
industry. As part of its mission “GONG gives back” internationally
renowned creatives Kash Shree, Agnello Dias and Thirasak Tanapatanakul

tertiary students and college graduates.
