The Grand Prix in the Design category Lion went to \u2018Trash Isles\u2019 by AMVBBDO, London for Plastic Oceans \/ Ladbible, United Kingdom.
\nThe Plastic Oceans Foundation and LadBible submitted an application to the UN to recognise The Trash Isles as an official country. If granted, this would compel other nations to clean it up. As a result, 200,000 people became citizens and the campaign reached half a billion people.<\/p>\n
The campaign was the answer to the following problem: In the North Pacific, an area of plastic trash the size of France has formed. Governments have simply ignored this fact.<\/p>\n
The work has already received a Yellow Pencil in the Branding \/ Campaign Branding & Identity category at the D&AD 2018.
\nEntries received at cannes Lions in the Design category amounted to 1,248 with 70 Lions awarded: 7 Gold, 25 Silver and 37 Bronze.<\/p>\n
In the Print & Publishing Lions, 1,440 entries were received and 49 Lions awarded: 7 Gold, 20 Silver and 21 Bronze and the Grand Prix winner was \u2018Tagwords\u2019 by Africa, S\u00e3o Paulo for Ab Inbev, Brazil.<\/p>\n
\u00abThe Grand Prix was a print ad that was pure, there was nothing wasted on the page. It looked perfect, yet it was intriguing. It shows the way forward for print, demonstrating the blend of mediums that can coexist to present more powerful messages,\u201d said Print & Publishing Lions Jury president: Kate Stanners, Chairwoman & Global Chief Creative Officer, Saatchi & Saatchi.<\/p>\n
