There were no South Africans represented on the judging panel, with 160 winners in the Press and Outdoor section.
The following agencies got onto the shortlist:
- TBWA Hunt Lascaris for the Tiger Brands Spray & Cook price tags ad, the BMW X5 Dental Floss, Bic crossword, Operation Snowball and C1 Boufant.
- The Jupiter Drawing Room for Nike's Lie Detector and Jogging ads;
- Saatchi & Saatchi for Oil of Olay's Hourglass and Tock Tick, three Guinness ads, Adopt a Minefield and Lea & Perrins 911;
- Y&R Gitam for Land Rover's Kiljoy ad;
- Lowe Bull Calvert Pace for all the Dulux "Any colour you want" ads;
- Grey Worldwide for two Envirocin ads
- Sonnenberg Murphy Leo Burnett for a Salvation Army Child Abuse ad.
The jury awarding Lions for Press and Outdoor was looking to inspire budding creatives rather than reward established, trophy-laden professionals. That was the principle laid down by Jeffrey Goodby, co-chairman of Goodby, Silverstein and Partners of the US, in announcing who had won trophies in the two sections. Judges were looking for "young and inspirational" examples and the intention "is to inspire people to make great ads next year."
