With more competition than ever before, it is our great pleasure to reveal the winners of this year’s Asia Communication Awards (ACAs)
Celebrating a decade since its initial launch back in 2011, this year’s ACAs saw the competition continue to go from strength to strength, drawing forth innovation and excellence from all corners of the Asian telecoms market. With over 125 entrants from dozens of countries, this year’s competition was the largest yet, with companies big and small vying to impress the panel of expert judges.
In total, 23 Awards were up for grabs this year, many of which have a long and prestigious history within the competition. However, it was newer categories like the Social Contribution Award and the Crisis Response Award that drew some of the most exciting entries, showing the increasing prominence of environmental, social, and corporate governance measures within the industry and highlighting the telecoms sector’s ability to help build a better world for all of us.
As always, Total Telecom would like to extend a huge thank you to our panel of judges for lending their time and expertise throughout this process.
Finally, thank you to the event’s title sponsor, CloudSense, for making this event possible.
