@lia_awards - London International Awards is an awards show that celebrates the creative process and exceptional ideas. Each year, it recognizes outstanding work by assembling a diverse global jury of industry leaders who conduct onsite judging in Las Vegas. This ensures a fair evaluation of all entries, with jurors voting only on work outside their own contributions.
This year, our first-ever animated music video J Hus - 'Cream' won the bronze award in the music video category for animation. It was the only music video awarded in the animation sub-category!
We feel incredibly blessed that our work stands alongside artists like Eminem.
