The PIAF call for entries is now open

Prague 3/2/2014 – The Prague International Advertising Festival (PIAF) has just announced the names of this year’s jury and it is now also accepting competition entries. PIAF will be held for the fifth time this year, the competition will take place together with a professional international conference on marketing and advertising on May 20th and 21st in Prague. The deadline for the PIAF call for entries is April 4th 2014. The finalists will be disclosed by early May. The conference program for advertising and marketing professionals will be presented in early March.

You can register your work in one of 14 competition categories starting February 3rd. The PIAF categories and its evaluation system are what make the festival different from other traditional competitions of this kind. The entries will be judged in 2 rounds by an international jury chaired by Alexander Schill, Creative Director of the German agency Serviceplan. It belongs to the top creative agencies not only in Europe but the entire industry. The jury is composed of excellent creatives, but it also includes representatives of major companies for whom creativity is a must for their communication. You will find the complete jury composition at http://www.piaf.cz/Competition/Jury.aspx

“The jury is once again amazing. We find true marketing legends as well as representatives of relatively young, independent and very progressive agencies, that are quickly making their name in the communication industry,” says Marek Hlavica, Director of PIAF.

The fifth edition of PIAF also brings several new features. The glassworks Pelechov are currently working on a new trophy design, for which they are using their worldwide unique technology: Vitrucel.

Another novelty is the cooperation between PIAF and the agency CzechTourism, on a competition focusing on creative concepts that will promote the Czech Republic among students of European universities. The competition is once again international and registration will be open to students of Art and Marketing schools abroad. Find out more at http://www.czechtourism.com/coolczechrepublic/
