Father and son ACRAs contest

Family get togethers might be a little tense in the Sinclair household for the next few weeks as two family members anxiously wait to see if they have won an ACRA.
 
ARN’s Gregg Sinclair and his son Shayne Sinclair, who is Content Director of Star 104.5 Gosford, are both nominees in the upcoming ACRAs, although not in the same categories.
 
Gregg, who is in ARN Production Sydney is nominated for ‘Best Station Produced Commercial’, while Shayne is in for ‘Best Station Promotion’ and ‘Best Multimedia Execution – Station’ category.

One of our readers, who tipped us to this story, believes it may be the first time a father and son have been nominated for ACRAs in the same year…. but it’s not. Another reader has reminded us of this report from 2016 about Eddie and Josh Olek.
 
We wish father and son the best of luck on the night!
