Does frontier-moving Afrikaans advertising flow through your veins? Does the ink in your pen spell pride in your language? The Pendoring podium is beckoning you to sharpen your pencil, because the sluices of the dam have opened for Pendoring 2007 entries!

Pendoring annually awards excellent creations in Afrikaans, this year for the thirteenth time. There are five main categories this year, namely advertising (above the line), communication design, experiential marketing, students, and general.

The closing date for entries is July 15,2007. All the information necessary for the competition is available on the Pendoring website www.pendoring.co.za

Advertising professionals can also enter online this year. Big prizes are at stake, including cash prizes, a study bursary for the student winner and an overseas tour for the Prestige winner. The gala event takes place on September 7 at Vodaworld in Midrand.
