Winning or losing is just a small part of life… Neither a win should affect you nor a loss.. Overcome both…Be yourself.. Enjoy.

Abhilash2821, win or loss does effect buddy, if not there were no world fights, no egos even no need of any competitions too. If u fail in ssc it affect your career, isn’t it! It is biggest part of life and it affects every aspect of it.

Hello, We are not favoring any user and we’ve always tried to be as transparent as possible regarding the selection of winners, despite the judges’ having personal choices regarding what they consider creative.

The reaction to the winning entries is unfortunate, however understandable when it comes to a matter of making selections based on creativity, as it is a subjective criteria of judgment. We will try to increase the level of transparency as much as if possible, by perhaps giving you an insight into the judges’ minds, and the basis of their decisions.

Apart from that, we ask simply that you respect that a decision has been made and trust that it is unbiased and made with a complete respect for the creative process and its (always subjective) outcome.

@ brandpotion, I do respect everyone sensibly, but not blindly.
Judgment must justify the concept according to the advt. and creative norms at least the basic norms, by provided brief, if it happens obviously every one would be pleased and proud for participating. Advertising and designing is my profession and I expected much better things in these competitions, since I spent much time and belief on ’em.

@ That’s what, I wonder the ad belongs to advertising award festival and no fundamentals to choose a winner among the participants around India and one guy win two prizes beyond the brief. moorvina banner doesn’t contains the required information accept the title.

Where I have given complete information regarding Spikes Asia -10 awards festival according to the brief and just look at my ad. I don’t think the competition judged by the above people. The competition isn’t transparent and spoiling the belief of designers who are rely talented and who always tries to prove them selves the best. *

Dear, I hasn’t attacking yaa, since it’s already over. Just being practical. Let me tell u few points.
1. We do have right to express what we felt. If we like anything we do appreciate it, likewise must be put your eyes on criticism sensibly same way.
2. Used logo for the “print ad” shouldn’t be tweaked with glitter effects first, since logo must be original where moorvina distorted the logo with effects.
3. Vardhini, judges must satisfy the concept according to the advt. and creative norms at least the basic norms, by provided brief, if it happens obviously every one would be pleased and proud for participating.
4. moorvina, you may be leaved the theory in kindergarten, but you have the presentation in the same kindergarten basis as u tweaked the logo with horrifying effects. I wonder u said "not to give every theoretical ‘crap filled in the brief’ ". Its advertising festival buddy to attract the delegates2 participate, the one must get some idea while watching the ad before he logged in the particular site.
5. I do know the meaning of advertising and I do advertising not kinda mudslinging behind advertising. Matter of prizes, they were not really great as I mentioned in my other posts and am not one of them who worry for the prize, I belong best to be appreciated who ever does it.
I am horrifying for the seat belt concept on the basis of these results, since the ideas are most valuable things particularly in advt. media. I am unfortunate I didn’t find great platform.
