The Young Creatives Award, launched last year, went to Darren Cronje from Net#work BBDO and Simone Rosum from Joe Public. Cronje and Rosum each received a Gold Loerie and an all-expenses-paid trip to any one of the following award shows: The One Show in New York City, the Clio Awards in Miami, the Cannes Advertising Festival in France or the D&AD in London. Additionally, each winner receives an A5 Intuos Special Edition tablet supplied by Wacom.
Tonight's ceremony was hosted by the SABC.
Update Tuesday, 29 July 2008: Please note that we incorrectly reported that the GrandPrix for Net#work BBDO and Gloo Digital Design's ‘Youngblood5' was the first for the Digital category. It was in fact Tinderbox Interactive Cape Town for its self-promotional piece titled 'thinking multimedia' in 1998, based on information supplied from The Loerie Awards. It is, however, the first Digital Grand Prix awarded since the formation of the Loerie Awards as an independent association in 2005.
