    “The Kodak Gongs are ambitious. They were built from the ground up to recognise excellence in the craft and ideas of the commercial moving image. They're about the Asia Pacific region. They're about the winners being judged as objectively as possible by a stellar jury from around the world. They're not-for-profit. and they are about work for any technology, delivery platform or new media”, the Committee Chairmen, Richard White-Smith and Mike Vanderfield said tonight.
    “Tonight is a celebration of the best work created in the last 12 months to sell products and build brands. The Awards are about great work but they are also about a passion for a great industry that will only stay great with increased diversity, independence, and transparency. The Kodak Gongs were started as a celebration of excellence in the face of mediocrity and declining standards. This remains our goal."

We congratulate the creatives and filmmakers who succeeded as finalists and salute those who receive a Gong," said Ingrid Goodyear, Director of Marketing, Kodak Entertainment Imaging, Greater Asia & Japan Regions.
