Central Europe Cristal Awards 

In 2008, the “Méribel Ad festival” and the “Central Europe Cristal Awards” merge their two brands under the name of “Meribel Ad Festival”. The next edition is scheduled to be held from the 12th to the 17th of December 2008 in Méribel (French Alps).

Regarding the competition, there will be a single prize-list for all European campaigns (Western, Central and Eastern Europe).

However, the jury members will award a "Central an Eastern Europe Grand Cristal" per media type to the best creation of the region.

 

Following the success of the Méribel Ad Festival, the Central Europe Cristal Awards have been created in 2006 in order to bring a new and ambitious advertising award, gathering all the Central and Eastern European countries:

 

    - A competition which closes the creative year, and announces the overall trends for the coming International Grand Prix

    - A place where agencies and clients can get together through: mixed juries, the CRISTAL-LAB conferences

    - An event that mixes business and creativity

    - Nearly 950 delegates attended the Méribel Ad Festival in 2007 with a large participation of clients (160).

    - The conviviality of the Méribel ski resort (in the heart of the Three Valleys in the French Alps) which favours networking.


    The 2nd edition of the Central Europe Cristal Awards was a real success:

    * The Central Europe Cristal Awards jury judged over 443 campaigns (vs 300 campaigns in 2006).

    * Agencies, clients and producers from 11 countries entered the competition to receive the famous “Cristal”: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey, and Ukraine.

    * All the judging and the awards ceremony, presided by Igor Lutz, were organized during the last edition of the Méribel Ad Festival (11 / 16 December 2007). The jury members have rewarded a “Cristal” for the best creations in different media: film, outdoor, press, radio, marketing services, cyber, integrated, production and media.
