Eurobest, the European Festival and Awards celebrating creativity in communications, is now accepting entries into 15 categories.
Judged by the regions’ top industry professionals, the awards categories available to enter are: Branded Content & Entertainment, Film Craft, Print & Poster Craft, Design, Direct, Film, Integrated, Interactive, Media, Mobile, Outdoor, PR, Promo & Activation, Print and Radio.
For 2013, changes to the Design Category have seen the introduction of a new sub-category, Product Design - Consumer Goods & Accessories. The introduction of product design at Eurobest is testament to the festivals belief in the importance of communication across all forms of creativity and will offer an exciting new platform that will celebrate creative excellence in this field.
A number of special awards will also be presented and will honour the Network of the Year, Advertising Agency of the Year, Interactive Agency of the Year, Independent Agency of the Year, the Golden Palm Award, given to the most awarded production company, and the Advertiser of the Year. These will be presented during the much anticipated Awards Ceremony, which will bring the Festival to an end and see the announcement of all winners and a celebration of Europe’s creative output.
Commenting on the awards, Philip Thomas, CEO of Lions Festivals says, “The theme of this year’s Eurobest is creative bravery, celebrating those ideas that have pushed the limits of creativity. This theme will run throughout the content programme and will doubtless run through the awards too, as we see the truly great work from the region battling it out to take home a sought after Eurobest trophy. It’s always exciting to see the standard of entries that come into these awards and we’re looking forward to honouring and celebrating the best that Europe has to offer this year.”
During the Festival, which runs from 4-6 December in Lisbon, Portugal, exhibitions of the shortlisted work will be available for delegates to view, allowing them to gather inspiration from across the region.
