CitNOW Video Awards shortlist announced

CitNOW, the UK’s leading exponent of automotive video technology, has unveiled the shortlist for the CitNOW Video Awards – the UK’s first ever industry video awards.

The shortlisted CitNOWs have been selected from hundreds of eligible entries from many leading dealer groups in the UK and additional overseas entries, with many dealers submitting multiple videos.

Several dealer groups have been successfully shortlisted for multiple awards, including Sytner, with five nominations in four categories, while Ridgeway and Dick Lovett have three and two nominations respectively.

A jury of five national experts in automotive sales, aftersales and the body shop and repair industry, presided over by CitNOW Chairman and Founder Andrew Howells will select the winners in seven categories:

  • Best CitNOW workshop video
  • Best CitNOW sales video
  • Best CitNOW bodyshop video
  • Best CitNOW web video
  • Best overseas CitNOW video
  • Most creative use of CitNOW video
  • Best overall CitNOW video.

The jury will meet this Wednesday (July 1) in London to carry out their adjudication. The winners will then be revealed at the CitNOW Video Awards ceremony, which will take place at 195 Piccadilly, the home of BAFTA, on Wednesday July 8.

Andrew Howells, Chairman and Founder of CitNOW, commented: ‘Hundreds of entries have been whittled down to a strong shortlist for our inaugural CitNOW Video Awards. Congratulations and good luck to all our finalists and, of course, a big thank you to everyone on our judging panel this year.’

‘The judges have been extremely impressed so far with the creativity, talent and variety of entries we have received. This is testament to CitNOW’s continuing work to encourage companies and professionals to embrace the use of video technology and make the most of the opportunities and benefits it offers, as well as showcasing best practice.’
