THE ONE SHOW FESTIVAL SET FOR MAY 5 - 9

p_feature_jerrydellafamin.jpgOn May 7th the world’s top creatives, advertising agency CEOs and heads of multinational brands from across the globe will converge on Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City for the 33rd Annual One Show gala awards ceremony. Produced by The One Club, presenters will award the coveted Gold, Silver and Bronze Pencils for the best print, television, radio and innovative media of the year.  
The One Show awards program is part of One Show Festival Week which for the first time will include One Show Design on May 6th at the Chelsea Art Museum.While design has been a part of the One Show since 2001, in 2007 a separate design awards ceremony was launched due to the growing emphasis on good design in the consumer marketplace and the overwhelming increase in entries in the design categories.
Another highlight for professionals coming to New York for One Show Festival Week will be the One Show Speaker Series featuring Jerry Della Femina pictured), Kevin Proudfoot, Kerri Martin, and Brian Collins. On May 6, creative legend Jerry Della Femina opens with 'Still Crazy After All These Years' and Kevin Proudfoot discusses the work of his award-winning agency Wieden + Kennedy, New York; on May 7, Kerri Martin, former marketing executive for Volkswagen and MINI, asks the question 'Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Am I the Fairest Fair Client of Them All' while Brian Collins, designer and former chairman of the Brand Integration Group (B.I.G.) at Ogilvy and Mather, presents 'East Meets West Meets East'.
On Friday, May 9 at the Nokia Theater, the One Show Festival Week will conclude with one of the most innovative events in the industry, the One Show Interactive awards celebrating the best international digital media and web design.
The 33rd Annual One Show has attracted 23,825 entries from more than 60 countries around the world. Judged by an international panel of the leading authorities on excellence in advertising, winning a One Show Pencil is considered the ultimate achievement within the advertising industry.

Two legends for the price of , er, ...

This is a personal choice,

1. Cannes
In my opinion the only real international show that has categories that allow work to be judged evenly, eg, telco TV ad vs. telco TV ad The ad gets judged on merit in its own category instead of for example the OneShow where , Toyota TVC vs. Playstation TVC and there is only Gold Silver Bronze and a shit load of merit.

2. D&AD
Pretty much just cause I haven't won one yet, and I just want to shove it hard up those pommy bastards asses that think it's a show just for them to back pat themselves. Oh yeah and it's pretty difficult.

3. OneShow
See Cannes for judging issues and who wants a trip to the US? meh. Gimme the South o France any day.

Paul Coghlan is in Perth, apparently. He's so deliciously butterbox.

I'd like to win a Logie award.

My mum's never heard of D&AD, but she knows the Logies.

They should hand out a gold Logie for best TV ad of the year, as voted by the punters.

Just think... there'd be Rove, that old bloke from Blue Heelers, that blonde chick from Blue Heelers who now pretends to shop at Coles, and you.

Don't say you don't want one.
