Winners will receive delegate passes to the Golden Drum 2008 and be awarded on stage on the gala night of New Europe's biggest and most famous advertising event of the year.



Conditions for entering the competition

Whether you're representing an agency, or yourself as a freelancer, you can compete with your previously unpublished and never before seen TV ads, print ads and web design ideas in fourteen categories (Important: the term 'published' here refers also to those ideas that have been entered to or displayed at other festivals, competitions and alike).

There is only one rule: No brand names, trademarks or brand-related products can be used in the ideas entered.

Entries in all three groups (TV, print and design) will compete for the OpenAd Golden Drum Big Idea award. Best entry in each group will receive an OpenAd TV, OpenAd Print and OpenAd Web Design award. All four winners will also receive free delegate passes to the festival. No festival points will be awarded in this competition.

The shortlisted entries will be featured at the Golden Drum 2008 exhibition area and the winners in all three groups and the winner of the OpenAd Golden Drum Big Idea award will be announced at the festival's gala event, on October 7, 2008.
