Dubai Lynx : open for entries; new award introduced: Independent Agency of the Year

7th edition of Dubai Lynx Awards, setting the benchmark for creative excellence in communications in the MENA region, is open for entries, the organizers announced.

The festival is scheduled to take place in Dubai, on 10-13 March 2013, with the entries to be judged during the Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity by top industry experts from around the world in 14 different award categories: Craft, Design, Direct, Film, Integrated, Interactive, Media, Mobile, Outdoor, PR, Promo & Activation, Print, Radio and launching this year, Branded Content & Entertainment.

A new award, Independent Agency of the Year, is introduced starting 2013, to encourage the spirit of creative entrepreneurship that has helped build so many outstanding agencies.

Whilst the MENA region is now producing creatively acclaimed work that is winning at an international level, it’s at regional festivals such as Dubai Lynx where the diverse cultural nuances shine through (…) We very much look forward to bringing together the region to showcase its best creative and inspirational work.
