The Outdoor Media Association (OMA) has announced the winners of its Creative Collection competition for 2020.
The joint Grand Prix winners are Peters’ Proud and Punch campaign and Broadsheet Media in partnership with JCDecaux for Restaurant Live Lists.
OMA said the judges were unanimous in their decision, noting that the two campaigns stood out for very different reasons: Peters’ was big, bright and bold, a classic Out of Home creative that launched their new line of vegan ice creams. The Broadsheet campaign in partnership with JCDecaux was recognised for delivering a great purposeful creative encouraging Melbournians and Sydneysiders to support local restaurants during lockdowns.
The Grand Prix winners were selected from 14 campaigns, the winners of each quarter. Over 81 campaigns in total were submitted for judging in 2020.
“Each year the Grand Prix presents the judges with a challenge having to choose the best of the best. This year the decision was made harder as the campaigns fell into two distinct categories: brand and purpose. Rather than debate the merits of each, the judges thought the two campaigns were equally deserving,” OMA CEO Charmaine Moldrich said.
Also judged on the day was the 2020 Creative Collection quarter four entries. The judges chose from 19 campaigns submitted from OMA members including JCDecaux, oOh!media and QMS Media.
General Mills’ Old El Paso campaign won the Big, Bold and Bright category. Honourable mention in this category was awarded to both William Grand & Sons (Monkey Shoulder) and Coopers.
Flipspot, the new textbook re-sale app, won the Best Use of Multi Format category, while MyPayNow won the Best Use of Digital category, with an honourable mention awarded to ANZ.
