…which means it is used to promote something, namely Antimatter Design.

Antimatter Design’s 2010 Portfolio can be viewed online at antimatterdesign.com/portfolio.pdf. If you seem like the type of person likely to give me a bit of freelance work, I could even send you a hard copy, if you ask nicely.

2010 Chip Shop Awards finalists announced

Monday, April 26th, 2010

The 2010 Chip Shop awards finalists have been announced.

For those unfamiliar with the alternative advertising awards, the Chip Shop Awards is a competition geared towards rewarding creativity within the whole advertising industry, rather than just the most ubiquitous, high budget campaigns.

Categories for entrants include ‘best use of shocking copy’, ‘invent your own category’, ‘best use of plagiarism’ and ‘best work for a client you have but haven’t a hope of running.’

This year, the awards have grown and the lists of countries taking part has increased by 50% including entries from as far afield as Kuwait, Cambodia, South Africa, Hungary and Thailand, to name but a few.

The awards ceremony will take place on the 9th June in London and is a steal at £66+VAT. You’ll even get beer or wine, a big bag of chips and a performance by an as yet unconfirmed comedian.

To find out more, contact Kimberley Baran on +44 (0) 141 559 6078, or email her at Kimberley.baran at carnyx.com.

You can see the full list of finalists by going to the Chip Shop Awards website, or by following them on Twitter here.

However, it also seems that in order to increase his chances of victory in this election he has decided to run as a candidate for the Tory party.

Well Labour was going that way anyway…
