MADC judges and The Sweet Shop party together at Madame Brussels in Melbourne

George Mackenzie (left) from The Sweet Shop threw a cocktail party on the weekend for the hardworking MADC judges and guests at the Parlour Room of Madame Brussels, and Melbourne’s top creatives turned out in full force to celebrate surviving the first day.

Sore heads the next morning had to contend with a record number of entries but they got through it with good grace and plenty of Berocca.

Finalists will be announced soon. The MADC Awards night will be held on Friday, 27th August.
