Likewise, multimedia and digital tools are grouped in a single Multimedia category under PR Tools. The criteria for the Anvil’s highest honor, the Hall of Fame Award, are also now defined and established.

Another achievement of the 48th  Anvil Awards is having Vishnu Mohan, CEO of Havas Media, Asia Pacific, as the Chairman of the Board of Jurors, bringing in his expertise and experience in traditional and digital media, as well as sharing the benefits of a regional and perhaps global perspective in the judging process.

This year, there are 33 Jurors, and the composition of the Board of Jurors has expanded to include IT specialists, members of academe, social media experts, specifically for the newly recognized categories of digital campaigns, multimedia, and digital tools.

For the first time ever, the 48th Anvil Awards will go digital, live streaming through live.anvil.ph with delayed telecast at Kapuso GMA News TV.  The winners and guests can join the online conversations via Twitter #anvilawards.  The event is slated at 6pm at the Makati Shangrila Hotel.
