Dubai Lynx 2010 juries

The Dubai International Advertising Festival, honouring creative excellence across the Middle East and Africa, has announced the members of the four juries, including Australia's David Nobay, Michael Canning and Mark Pejic.

The Integrated Jury will be chaired by Nobay, creative chairman of Droga5 in Australia, who also leads the Direct, Sales Promotion and Interactive Jury, and is made up of members of the three juries, including jury presidents Amir Kassaei and Barry Cupples.

The TV/Cinema, Print, Outdoor and Radio Jury will also judge the new Craft category, which launches this year awarding excellence of craft technique over and above the creative idea of the work.

"With ideas and creative parameters that are unique to the region, the work goes from strength to strength. As such, we have brought together a strong group of international high-calibre experts whose decisions will lead the region’s industry forward," said Philip Thomas, CEO of Cannes Lions, who, with Motivate Publishing, organises the Festival.

The winners will be revealed at the Dubai Lynx Awards Ceremony and Dinner, taking place at The Palladium on the evening of March 17, 2010.
