Award Show Bedlam! Eurobest, London International, Loeries news

Lots of news for three big awards shows today. First up, the 2nd Annual Eurobest Advertising Festival has announced that delegate packages are now on sale. This festival takes place at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam on November 25–27th. Eurobest has the usual seminars, awards and galas, but there’s also a cool event called Networking After Dark, which sounds like a pub crawl except that the pubs are six of Amsterdam’s top agencies: 180 Amsterdam, Bureau Pindakaas, Wieden+Kennedy, Nothing, Sid Lee and de-construct.

Eurobest delegate registration ranges from the €199 student package to the 3-day package (including the award show and after-party) at €799. To look at the packages in more detail, and to register, click here.

The London International Awards are also coming up, and they’ve announced a final entry deadline of August 17th, 2009. They’ve also announced a pretty kick-ass jury too, with jury president’s like Ogilvy’s Tham Khai Meng, Poke London’s Iain Tait and DDB London’s Jeremy Craigen. But your work won’t be judged by them if you don’t enter! Click here to remedy that.
