Design, Craft, Media, PR & Integrated Juries announced for Eurobest 2010

The remaining jury members are named for Eurobest 2010, Europe’s principal creative advertising and communications festival honouring and celebrating European creative excellence across all major disciplines.

This year there will be eight juries judging 14 categories, including the new PR and Mobile competitions.

The appointed judges, all talented professionals in their respective countries, will meet in Hamburg, this year’s host city, to judge, deliberate and award Europe’s best work. They will be chaired by leading industry authorities from around the globe: Eugene Bay, Chairman of VBAT in The Netherlands will lead the Design jury; Filip Nilsson, Executive Creative Director of Swedish agency Forsman & Bodenfors, has been appointed Craft jury president; Nikki Mendonca, President of OMD EMEA will chair the Media jury; the first jury president for the new PR jury will be Jean-Pierre Beaudoin, Co-Chair and Managing Director of Group i&e in France; and Linus Karlsson, Partner and Executive Creative Director of Mother in the USA will head the Integrated jury.

“It’s exciting to unite such a diverse group of skilled specialists who all have a common goal – to select and honour the best work in Europe, ultimately leading the industry forward. Europe is a great source of varied creativity and it is therefore vital for the business to give recognition to all those involved in the great work produced,” said Philip Thomas, CEO of Cannes Lions, organisers of Eurobest.
