#EpicaAwards2019: Day three results
Today was a mixture of laughs and suspense in the Epica Awards jury room. Laughs because jurors voted on the single remaining category: Humour.
The Gold went to Norway’s Try for the spot “Treadmill” for the Rema 1000 retail chain. It features a guy whose voice-activated treadmill (“Level four, please”) goes out of control when the radio plays “Only 16”. It’s a sequel to last year’s Humour winner, about a man who lives in a voice-activated house.
Suspense derived from the fact that the jury also voted for the seven Grand Prix winners: Film, Print, Design, Digital, Responsibility, PR and Alternative. But the results cannot be revealed until after the prize-giving ceremony tomorrow (Thursday) evening.
