Outdoor Awards Best of Show

Five creative teams from four agencies are in contention for the major $10,000 prize for Best of Show in this year’s Outdoor Awards.

The winner will have a choice of attending one of the International Art Shows in Berlin, Miami or Switzerland and of course win the coveted gold pigeon statuette.

Out of the 209 entries received this year there will be 22 winners all of whom will take away a pigeon statuette.

The winners will be announced at a awards ceremony in Sydney this Thursday, September 9.
Comedian Kitty Flanagan will be master of ceremonies at the Awards’ cocktail function, hosted by the Outdoor Media Association (OMA).

The winning entries were chosen from 12 categories for their impact and effectiveness by an international panel of creative directors.

The voting jury (assembled by non-voting chairman Jonathan Kneebone of The Glue
Society) included Sebastian Wilhelm (Santo, Buenos Aires), Matt Keon (18 Feet &
Rising, London), Mark Waites (Mother, London), Joaquin Molla, (La Comunidad, Buenos Aires), Dave Bell (Kessels Kramer, Amsterdam/London), Carlos Bayala (Madre, Buenos Aires), Sarah Barclay (JWT, New York).

Charmaine Moldrich, chief executive of OMA, said OMA has been impressed by the calibre of this year’s entries.

“We’ve seen some excellent examples of Out-of-Home advertising this year, which demonstrates how well the medium can be used," he said.
