7 April 2021 – The Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity has revealed this year’s winners at its virtual Awards Ceremony. The UAE, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia have all been awarded Grands Prix.
Speaking about the work, Kate Stanners, Chairwoman & Global Chief Creative Officer, Saatchi & Saatchi, and this year’s Film, Print & Publishing, Radio & Audio, and Integrated Jury President, said, “We were really impressed with the quality of work. Truly world-class. It was wonderful to see so much humor is used, it is becoming increasingly rare because it is so hard to do comedy well. It was powerful to see how the region is addressing social issues by using the extra-ordinary power of creativity to make some incredibly important behavioral changes, specifically in gender equality.”
