The former Creative Consultant of the WPP Group, Neil French, appears to be working on new international awards for print advertising. As the American advertising trade journal Advertising Age (Ad Age) reports, he is currently putting his heads together with Barbara Levy (owner of the London International Awards). The name of the competition is not yet known, but Levy registered the domain name worldpressawards.org in November 2005. In an e-mail to Ad Age, French spoke of a few months until the launch of the award. According to industry insiders, the initiators are already looking for jury members.
