Did you send off the boards to the Epica awards yet? October 1st - deadline! Last call. Don't head to the pub without first packing that fedexbox tonight.

The Association of Independent Commercial Producers are coming to Winston-Salem NC October 4th for a screening of winning commercials and lectures. If you are in the hood - it's probably worth going.... (more info inside)

All 19,000 entries from Cannes Lions 2001 have been archived at canneslions.com, where more than 55,000 ads are available to rummage through those days you need to steal a good idea. ;-)

Singapore agencies cry foul against Ogilvy's "scam" Cannes winners!
Good news for Upper Worli, we don't seem to be the only nation caught with our pants down on scam ads, the latest to be honoured with this distinction is Singapore. And this scandal involves as many as four Cannes Lions!

You are sick of hearing me nag about it already - but here's another reminder about the YoungGuns award - ok??
September seven is deadlineday - and guess what - you can win a trip to Sydney!

This arrived from the youngguns.:BMPDDB's Webster Tries To Buy Illicit Street-Cred The Founding Father Of London's Sharpest Ad Shop Solicits Street-Gangs.

Don't miss John Webster, Founding Father of BMPDDB London hangin' with his home-boys in the hood. Webster is the star in the spot titled "Dance Moves", one of five executions in YoungGuns' "Legends of Advertising" campaign.

Since I'm so pleased that Adland is back online, I thought I'd throw a little party. You are all invited over to Justine's , 101 2nd street, between 1st avenue and A, on Saturday night at 10:30. The silver backroom is ours kids. I thought Justine's would be appropriate. Yes, it's an S&M bar, what else? Come and have a drink. I might spank you.

We've spoken about the Young Guns 2001 awards here earlier , and now Michael Kean gives us the run-down on the why and how he helped found the new award which will be hosted in Australia this October. ....

Seen the ads that win at Cannes over the years?

Do you see any ads with long copy?

No, my friends.

Blame it on the brilliant Brazilians. Or the Swedes.

The sad truth is in our pursuit for international recognition we
are catering to an international jury, who favour minimalist ads over
the ones with long copy.
The jurors often pay lip-service to "There Are No Rules In Advertising" and that sort of stuff.


Alas by awarding only visually-oriented ads, they are making a rule:
Never ever write long copy if you want to win at Cannes.

Paradisets latest and last campaign for Diesel won the Grand Prix in Cannes for press and Poster.

Cannes Lions is far too soon! Their site revamped, they collected previous winners in a searchable database - bliss! It might be the most 'boring' Cannes Lions site you have ever seen, but it is by far the most useful one they have made. "which seminar did you go to?" is not as common of a question as "which party were you at last night?" , which reaches "did you see the shortlist?" levels of popularity by the middle of the week.. So do your homework: Where will you party once in Cannes?.............. listing here.

March 2001 was a bad month for creativity in Slovakia. The national creative award Zlaty klinec (Golden Nail) was a big disappointment for many creatives and agency executives. The reason: too many ads awarded that noone would seriously call creative.

The international Andy awards are being handed out in New York tonight as the Dutch ADCN parties till dawn in an old warehouse. "Who won what?", "did it really - that piece of..", and "why didn't they enter in the awards?", will be the topic of discussion over free coctails most of the evening. In Sweden at Guldägget the topic will be "do the winners correspond to that list on Adland?". At least, that's why I will be watching.......

In a sensational, unprecedented development, India's premier advertising agency, Lowe Lintas, ranked number two in India, has decided to withdraw its entries from the Abby awards competition. Abby awards is considered India's most prestigious ad award show organised by the Ad Club of Bombay. This, shockingly, comes just days ahead of the three-day extravaganza scheduled for the end of this month.

For those of you who are interested in the swedish nominations of the sought after Gold Egg prize (Guldägget - Swedens advertising and new media awards) in the Internet and new media categories Ad-rag has gotten a hold of the entire list. Click on read more to read the list. I suggest you foreign people have a look as well - great new media and internet design is usually from the scandinavian countries and these lists serves as good inspiration.

This coming Thursday - the 19th of October 2000 - at eight p.m. (that's 20.00 hours) Dabitch is in New York City hanging with a bunch of New York Adlisters at the White Horse Tavern.

The White Horse is conveniently located at the corner of Hudson and 11th Street and is for those of you who didn't know - the place where Dylan Thomas drank himself to death. We think it's appropriate.

Dylan himself might be there - as it is said his ghost occasionally returns to rotate his favorite corner table.

Ad agency Bold TBWA Advertising in Oslo (Norway) can be proud!
