New categories for Eurobest

24 Aug 2015

The European Festival of Creativity, Eurobest, which opened for entries late last week, has announced two new categories and the jury presidents. The new categories, Healthcare and Creative Effectiveness, bring the total to 18 categories, ensuring that the competition is reflective of current issues.

Director, Louise Benson, said, "Using creativity within the strictly regulated world of healthcare and the effect that creativity can have on a business are both areas of discussion that are very much at the forefront at the moment. By introducing Healthcare and Creative Effectiveness, we hope to provide some benchmarking and insight into Europe's performance in these key areas, while also celebrating those already leading the charge."

Jury presidents named

Philip Thomas, CEO, Lions Festivals, commented, "It's an outstanding collection of individuals from across Europe and further afield; entrants will feel privileged to have their work judged by some of the industry's greatest achievers."
