Mainframe Awards 2020 is back...We are excited to announce that the Mainframe Awards 2020 is back!
We were due to host the awards in April this year but we had to make the sad decision to postpone them as the world went a little strange and we found ourselves in a national lockdown. So we put them on hold until we felt it was the right moment to do them again.
Like most face to face events and awards this year, they have all had to adapt, be innovative and still think about the audience at the heart of it and the Mainframe Awards 2020 will be no different.
The Mainframe Awards are in their third year and are an opportunity to highlight and celebrate the talented creatives in Derby and Derbyshire, so we hope that you will save the date and be able to join us for the a virtual 2020 awards night plus the virtual launch of the 2021 awards.
The awards will be hosted live in QUAD and by QUAD’S CEO, Adam Buss and The Mainframe Team Charlene Sharp and Hana York, joined virtually by those shortlisted, our judges and the Mainframe Community.
The details are:
Date: Monday 30th November 2020
Time: 7.30pm
Where: From the comfort of your own home
