Mohammad Abdullah, Managing Director of TECOM’s Media Cluster said, “Dubai Lynx has championed creativity across the region, and provides an ideal platform for talent to be inspired, network and share knowledge and ideas. The festival is a true celebration of innovation, and will continue to drive Dubai’s growth as a hub of creativity and excellence, and we are delighted to be able to provide continued support to the festival again this year.”
For the first time, Dubai Lynx will award the Grand Prix for Good, a feature already seen at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. This trophy rewards work ineligible to win a Grand Prix in their sections because they are made for charities/not for profit or have charitable or public service messages.
Walid Yared, Chief Marketing Officer at Choueiri Group, who are sponsors of the award, commented that the Grand Prix for Good is “a worthy and necessary addition to the awards at Dubai Lynx and a fantastic opportunity to recognise and rightfully honour creativity in this sector. We are delighted to be able to show our support of this award by sponsoring it in its inaugural year.”
Dubai Lynx takes place from 8-10 March with the Awards Ceremony on 11 March, 2015.
