Swiss Out of Home Award: 34 works on the shortlist
The shortlist for the newly launched Swiss Out of Home Award has been announced. Out of a total of 241 campaigns reviewed, 34 nominees were selected.
The creative competition is organized by the Association of Outdoor Advertising Switzerland AWS and honors analog, digital and innovative outdoor advertising in Switzerland.
The 14-member jury of experts from the fields of advertising, culture and design, headed by jury president Christian Brändle, reviewed and evaluated all the entries submitted to the competition. "There are real discoveries on the shortlist. The 34 nominees are convincing, among other things, for their aesthetic originality, precise implementation of the advertising message, and artistic unconditionality," Brändle said of the judging.
The narrowest selection shows very different clients and areas of application of OOH media. The variety ranges - to name a few examples - from Ticino Tourismo and the Pantone Color Institute with the campaign "Colori del Ticino", to the large-scale portraits of young filmmakers as visuals for the "57th Solothurn Film Festival", to the awareness campaign "Daheim " for the emergency sleeping center Nemo, to the subject "The Rip", which symbolizes for Tamedia how media professionals factually deepen simple news images.
