LONDON: The organisers of the 21st Eurobest Awards, Europe's leading creative advertising competition for TV/Cinema, Print, Outdoor, Radio, Interactive, Direct, Sales Promotion, Media, Integrated and also new for this year, Design, have announced this year's complete juries. The 21st Eurobest awards, honouring European creative excellence across all major disciplines will now form part of the 1st Eurobest Advertising Festival.

Sixty leading creatives and media professionals from 21 different European countries make up the six Eurobest juries, chaired by five of Europe's most distinguished advertising and communication experts. Judging will take place on-site at the Berns hotel in Stockholm, the venue for the 3-day Festival.

“We have brought together a fantastic group of Europe's creative communications talent to judge, discuss and award Europe's best work. With Eurobest launching as a festival this year, all the work will be on show and the winners will be revealed and celebrated during the awards ceremony and after-show party on the 3rd of December,” said Philip Thomas, CEO of Eurobest.

Launched in 1988, Eurobest is Europe's leading annual awards competition for creative excellence in the categories of TV/Cinema, Print, Outdoor, Radio, Interactive, Media, Direct, Sales Promotion, Design and Integrated advertising. The awards, which are judged by Europe's top creatives, will extend to a 3-day Festival from 2008 which will be themed to identify and engage specific topics that are relevant to the European market.
