Maybe no one else entered.

Isn't it just an award for Australiasia, hence it's just like Award, but not as big?

Yeah 9.00PM I guess the major awards show for the largest advertising market in the world (that's the Asia/Pacific region btw) shouldn't really rate a mention down here in little ol' NZ now should it? Much better we remain stuck in our own geographical west-o-centric space aye? Funnily enough a good portion of NZ Production companies don't agree with you as evidenced by their strong presence at Adfest. So next time you need someone to do a job and you get told they're all working up in Asia you might wish you'd paid a bit more attention. Just thought it was worth a mention...
