In pictures: Caxton Awards 2018 revitalises print
Writers, advertisers and marketers come out in their best fashion at this year's Caxton Awards to celebrate print.
All the glitz and glamour that comes every year was felt at the Caxton 2018 Awards on 28 March.
Held at the gorgeous Maslow Hotel at Times Square, Pretoria, it was a night to appreciate excellence, hard work and perseverance. It is one day in the year that every Caxtonite waits for in excitement.
Awards were presented for a variety of categories such as creative, advertising, best community involvement and of course editorial.
This year Caxton Local Media Joburg North made a statement, aside from making it into the finals in multiple categories, by scooping two awards.
The Randburg Sun won Best Free Newspaper of the Year and Fourways Review won Best Community Involvement.
