Dalkey Literary Awards 2020

This entry won bronze at the Sockies social media awards 2020.

Zurich sponsor the Dalkey Literary Festival and its awards – Novel of the Year and Emerging Writer.
Unfortunately due to Covid, this year’s festival was cancelled. Yet the awards were to go ahead. So how to make a virtual winners' announcement when the event was not being held?
I worked on bespoke creative videos stitching together the 6 nominated books in each category. I came up with the concept and storyboarded them, before Nat Navarro in indiepics animated them so beautifully. I wanted to create a seamless narrative that wove the themes of these impressive books into a beautiful story. The videos end with a zoom call from the judges to the unsuspecting winner. Hopefully we did the winners justice.
