The World: Cannes - TBWA\Paris stripped of Cannes bronze Press Lion

Campaign 12-Sep-08

The Cannes Festival has withdrawn the bronze Press Lion that it awarded to TBWA\Paris in June.

After an investigation, it emerged that TBWA's campaign for Amnesty
France did not appear in the media between 1 March 2007 and 30 April
2008, as required.

The festival chairman, Terry Savage, said: "While it is not our policy

to discuss specific cases, if we have doubts about a specific entry, for

whatever reason, we will fully investigate the matter to its
conclusion."

He added: "It is important for the advertising and the awards industry
that entries made fully comply with the rules and spirit of the
festival."
