Realistic categories for Indian Advertising Awards

How can you not love advertising done by people outside the regular ad agencies on the streets and online medium in India!

If the advertising and advertising efficiency awards that are distributed every year in our country should reflect the real advertising in the country, then these are the categories that reflect India and not the ones only the people in the mad ad world of advertising agencies know about.

Categories
