The revised number of shortlists in the Print and OOH categories are owing to a change communicated to the press officially, which read, (For Print) "There was an error on our part with the print shortlist that was distributed to our accredited press this morning. By mistake we uploaded all of the print entries to our press portal."

(For OOH) "The Outdoor Shortlist which was uploaded to the Press Portal  this morning is missing some categories."
