MUMBAI: The seventh edition of the Dubai Lynx 2013 has announced its call for entries to award creative excellence in advertising and communications in the Middle East and North Africa region. The festival will be held from 10-13 March in Dubai.
The annual Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity awards the best creative work in the fields of radio, craft, design, direct, film, integrated, interactive, media, mobile, outdoor, PR, promo & activation and print. The entries will be judged by top industry experts from around the world.
This year, the fest has introduced a new award category ‘Branded Content & Entertainment’, bringing the total number of categories to 14. A new accolade, ‘Independent Agency of the Year’, has also been introduced to encourage the spirit of creative entrepreneurship. The award will honour the highest-ranked independent agency that has amassed the most points across all the entry sections at the fest.
Dubai Lynx festival director Emma Lancaster said, “Whilst the MENA region is now producing creatively acclaimed work that is winning at an international level, it’s at regional festivals like Dubai Lynx where the diverse cultural nuances shine through. We look forward to bringing together the region to showcase its best creative and inspirational work.”
