Epica extends the submission deadline until October 13, 2017

Those who have not yet submitted will be given another two weeks. You can find all the information at Epica-awards.com. This year's award show will take place on Thursday, November 16 in Berlin. All winners will not only receive the Epica Crystal Pyramid, but will also be included in the annual Epica Yearbook.

Jury President 2017 is Spencer Baim, Chief Strategic Officer of Vice Media. As always, Werbewoche will also sit on the jury and report daily from Berlin. The jury is made up of representatives from trade magazines from around the world, including Adweek, W&V, Horizont and Fast Company.

Epica is launching two new categories this year: "Music Video" and "Online and Mobile Services" - the latter covering advertising for digital brands such as Airbnb or Uber. The Epica Awards are part of Werbewoche's creative rankings. From 2018, the competition will be rated with a factor of 2. (hae)
