Cannes Lions: Design, Press and Cyber Winners I'm about 24 hours late on this, because the universe of Cannes seems to have priorities (and possibly a wormhole?) of its own, but here are the Grand Prix winners from Wednesday night's ceremony at the Lions. If You Cannot Come to Wrath of Cannes, Wrath of Cannes Will Come to You Steve mentioned earlier that there are some Wrath of Cannes shirts going around, and yeah, those rumours are true: the other day the Wrath's Kristen Bryan found me, handed me a Grand Coney tee and asked me to strike a "sexy" pose. Not sure what one of those looks like, since I by nature just ooze sex out of my pores, so I whipped out some creepy awkward fist-to-face thing that was probably planted in my subconscious by AsianPoses.com. Ask Wappling, who took the picture at left, also sported a shirt, as did Rafiq from ihaveanidea and Brett McKenzie. The real Cannes is officially invaded. New goal - to actually experience Wrath of Cannes live. Someday. Unilever Dispenses Ice Cream for Smiles Following up on the Coke Zero Happiness machines imagineered for Cannes in '09, this year SapientNitro plugs Unilever's ice cream brands - with a machine that dispenses the frozen desserts when a person smiles at it. Ogilvy Mexico Gets Grand Prix Yanked For Double Entry Sadly confirming there are many in this industry who continue to lie, cheat, steal and bend the rules for their own gain, The Cannes Press Grand Prix winner, Ogilvy Mexico for Mattel Scrabble, was disqualified by the jury because it was discovered the campaign had been entered previously. Malicious maneuver or innocent mistake is unclear at this point. Gold winner Almap BBDO for Billboard Magazine has been elevated from Gold to Grand Prix. Is it any wonder the public still ranks us right up there with car salesmen when it comes to honesty and integrity? UPDATE: And unsurprisingly, two other double dippers have been discovered; one from the very winner of this Grand Prix, Almap BBDO. Cannes Lions: Media, Radio and Outdoor Grand Prix Winners Last night at the ceremony I livetweeted all Gold and Grand Prix winners in the categories above. If you weren't following along at @luckthelady, here's a breakdown of the Grand Prix winners. Click on the category to see the full list of Gold, Silver and Bronze winners. Media: Leo Burnett Sydney for "EOS Photochains," Canon EOS DSLR cameras. A cadaver exquis-style execution where users can post images, then other photographers take a piece of that image to continue the chain with a photo of their own. Cannes Lions: Common on Getting 'Authentic' Artists to Collab with Sponsors Yesterday, in a Digitas-run session called "Cage Fighting Comes to Cannes," Common explained what his brand is and how he gauges the value of sponsorship opps. How do you get a respected artist to plug your product? The secret is profound and earth shattering. Wrath of Cannes Didn't Make it to Cannes But Their T-Shirts Did The anti-Cannes organization, Wrath of Cannes, will host its fourth annual event tomorrow night at Kabin on 92 2nd Avenue (between 5th and 6th) beginning at 7PM. They didn't make it to Cannes but their T-shirts did and were worn by various ad peeps including, we think, Ask Wappling from Adland. At least it looks like her. Adrants Correspondent Tweeting Cannes Gold Lions Be sure to Follow our Adrants Correspondent Angela Natividad on Twitter. She's live tweeting a storm from the South of France. Briefly, Grey gets gold for Branded content for Canon. Abbott Mead Viuckers BBDO gets gold for best use of online advertising. Heimat Berlin Beyond Borders for Cannes International gets gold for ambient media. Stay tuned. Follow. And check back here when she publishes her daily wrap up. @DavidonDemand: Man at the Mercy of The Internets Yesterday at Cannes Lions, Chelsi and I had the curious experience of meeting @DavidonDemand. Here's the story: David Perez, a creative recruiter over at Leo Burnett Chicago, really wanted to come to Cannes. In its infinite kindness, LB found a practical reason to send him: he could promote Wildfire, the agency's self-conscious celebration of spontaneity in the art and craft of modern marketing. So for the next seven days, this poor sod is strapped to a live feed. His job: to do everything Twitter tells him to do. Nokia Knee Deep in Cannes Video Contest Plagiarism Fiasco The similarities are remarkable. Then again, How many different ways can you tell Forrest Gump's story in one minute? Once again we have charges of plagiarism and this times it's tied to Cannes. Nokia hosted a video competition and first prize was a trip to Cannes. Well, the creator of the winning video, Jemma Lyon, is in Cannes but she's being pummeled by members of web community b3ta. One of the original film's creators wrote, "Someone's sent me an entry to a Nokia filmmaking competition that's literally a shot for shot, line for line, idea for idea remake of it, this has been the first I've heard of it. I wouldn't mind except the person who entered it has won a "Critics Choice" award out of this rehash, including a FUCKING TRIP TO CANNES."
