The shortlists for the Effective Use of Tech and the Effective Use of Partnerships & Sponsorships categories in the WARC Media Awards being announced today reveal some interesting regional divergences.

The EMEA region dominates in Partnerships & Sponsorships, with seven papers each from UK and the Middle East. North America supplies four papers and Asia Pacific three (and two of them from New Zealand). 

A total of 21 papers from around the world have been shortlisted in the Effective Use of Tech category. Read the full list here.

The APAC region is much more to the fore in the Tech shortlist, with ten papers – one more than Europe (five papers from the UK, Russia and Spain) and the Middle East (five) combined; North America supplies the remaining two. 

A total of 21 papers from around the world have been shortlisted in the Effective Use of Partnerships & Sponsorships category. Read the full list here.

Local brands are also more evident in the Tech shortlist than the Partnerships & Sponsorships one.

The winners in all four categories of the WARC Media Awards will be announced later this week.
