Gold, Silver and Bronze For Promo and Design Lions
23 April 2008
The number of entries into Promo and Design Lions are exceeding all expectations this year.
The dramatic increase in Promo Lions entries, as well as the high number of entries into the Design Lions competition, means that Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies will now be awarded in both competitions.
This year sees the first-ever Design Lions competition, which celebrates the creative use of design as a lever to influence consumers and its use as an aid to the communication of brand and product messages. Promo Lions was introduced in 2006.
