Befitting to the Crowbar 2009’s tagline of “it’s your chance to shine”, this year’s entries has shown great promise of budding stars who have the potential to shine in the creative industry.

Since its inception in 2001, it has received sterling support from the industry. From humble beginnings as a local creative competition, the Crowbars have evolved over the years to become a regional creative award show for students. Currently, the Crowbar Awards is arguably the most prestigious regional student creative award show.

The Crowbars have seen a bevy of outstanding creative talents who have gone on to do very well in the creative industry. A member of this year’s Advertising jury panel, Ang Sheng Jin who is now Senior Art Director at McCann Erickson is a shining example. He is a past Crowbar winner who had made a sweep of 22 medals in 2002. Affirming the significance of the award, he shares that “The Crowbar is one of the best student award that you can have to get yourself noticed by the Creative Directors”.

The winners of Crowbar 2009 will be announced at the Awards Show which will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel on 28 August 2009 (Fri). Winning works will be showcased at the exhibition on that night.
