THIS MASTERCLASS HAS BEEN POSTPONED - AN UPDATE WILL BE POSTED HERE ASAP

It’s back - the best free learning event in the comms calendar - the UnAwards Winners Masterclass. They will be the hottest ticket around and so here’s how you can try to grab one…

by Darren Caveney

The UnAwards 2019 generated a staggering 350 entries and the quality of the work submitted was higher than ever.

What did it take to win?

Attending the Masterclass each year is a unique opportunity to hear, first hand, the experiences, tips and lessons which lie behind the winners’ work.

The low-down…

There will be two free ticket releases taking place at noon on:

  • Thursday 5 March

  • Thursday 12 March

Demand for these tickets will be high - last year they were snapped up in 60 seconds so please set your alarms and be quick off the mark.

You can get your tickets HERE.
