Golden Awards Of Montreux 2008: The international cabal

Golden Awards Of Montreux - the Swiss international festival with a European bias and a significant weight in the not too distant proshlom.Eto now it has lost a bit of its position, but in 1989, when the creators gathered in Montreux for the first time (if it was an offshoot of the competition of television entertainment programs " The Golden Rose of Montreux »), Golden Awards was the first international advertising competition in Europe.





Now, despite the lack of hype around online, Golden Awards Of Montreux continues to be popular with many creative people in the world. At this year's festival we have sent more than 2,500 works from 34 countries. The jury of 30 people from almost all parts of the world - from 18 countries. It's creators, clients and even professors of design universities in Europe. A distinctive feature of the jury Montreux - a fair share of the best-known representatives are not brick and mortar agencies. Hardly it is possible to meet the mega-creatives, and only does each year in the spring, that wandering from festival to festival. This ensures the freshness of vision and variety in winners. From the winners of all the countless festivals this spring at Montreux in the category TV / Cinema repeated only one - Epuron «Power Of Wind», Nordpol + Gamburg.

Nominations to the Golden Awards Of Montreux little - only 8. Plus competition of young creators - Talent Award. Nominations partly traditional and partly unusual. Rarely on any festival, for example, take out a separate Direct Mail. Or Events & Sponsorships.

In Montreux no units of gold, silver or bronze. Either you win and received a gold medal or not. All in all, this year the jury awarded 53 awards - only 2% of the total number of submitted papers.

Among the absolute leader is Germany - 22 gold medals, almost half of the total. Perhaps such a high result showed German creators due to the geographical proximity of Switzerland and consequently higher activity when sending jobs.

But on the other hand, neighboring France also showed much more modest result - 5 awards. Over the ocean has left nine awards - 5 to the United States and 4 in Argentina, 3 gold medals went to the UK, 2 - Austria, Sweden and the Netherlands, a further 7 countries have won one award. Among them is the host - Switzerland.
