AWARDS
These awards are held completely on-line. There will be no physical event. The BassAwards grant 1 GOLD, 1 SILVER and 3 BRONZE awards in each category, except in the Best Agency of the Year category. Only the GOLD winners will receive a physical trophy. The 15 finalists will receive a digital certificate attesting the jury’s decision.
CREATIVE PARTNERS
The best way to promote the BassAwards is through an excellent piece made by our creative partners. The promotional piece of this forth edition is an amazing work of Homeboy Estudio (Mexico) with music & sound by Jeansy Áuz (Spain). HomeBoy Estudio was winner of Best Showreel and silver of Best Explanatory Video in BassAwards 2015. The style of this Mexican team was perfect for BassAwards video. They played with motion graphics, making a composition of BassAwards through forms and volumes in color. In the same way, JeanDox, gives strength to the movement with music informal and direct. Solid colors with small accents based on generative exploration of geometric shapes. A dynamic set of transformations coming from an abstraction of each letter of the word BassAwards, everything inspired by Saul Bass’ soundness and work pace.
