2018 PRESS RELEASES
Two Lucky Winners will be Heading to Las Vegas for LIA’s Creative LIAisons Program
01 May 2018
Two lucky young creatives from Germany will be making their way to Las Vegas early in October thanks to London International Awards.
ADC Germany Junior Competition winners, Theresa "Theo" Gramckow from Jung von Matt and Oscar Engelhardt from Kolle Rebbe were awarded seats at LIA’s Creative LIAisons Program 2018.
On finding out that he won Engelhardt stated, “Thank you so much for that amazing reward. I'm really happy to take part in such an interesting event and excitedly looking forward to it.”
Creative LIAisons is LIA's way of giving back. By refraining from a fancy award show the whole budget goes to organizing this unique event for young creatives. This annual program runs simultaneously with LIA’s judging at Encore Las Vegas, a perfect venue and time as all the big names in the industry from advertising to design to digital to production and technology are gathered together.
Doerte Spengler-Ahrens, JvM Chief Creative Officer commented, “ Theresa Gramckow is one of the most promising young creatives we have in the Jung von Matt agency. She has brought numerous ideas for award-winning work and the prize she just won shows again her extraordinary talent. I am very happy that LIA invited her because the Creative LIAisons are not only a wonderful event to meet exceptional creatives from all over the world but also learn from the best. There
is no other program to be compared to this experience. So thanks again LIA!”
“I would like to congratulate these two young talents on winning at the 2018 German ADC. I look forward to meeting them in October,” stated Barbara Levy, president, LIA. “In an era when award budgets are being cut due to less revenue, LIA is proud that we can continue to provide the industry with this fully funded program; the opportunity to bring together the world's brightest minds from all corners of the globe in order to inspire, educate and exchange ideas with creatives in the top of the industry."
Creative LIAisons gives young creatives exclusive access to all of LIA’s jury members and speakers, which they would otherwise have little or no opportunity to mingle with in a professional or social environment.
Creative LIAisons will take place at Encore Las Vegas from Wednesday 3rd October through Saturday 6th October. To find out more about the program visit our website at https://www.liaawards.com/creative_liaisons/.
The Entry System is open for entries. The initial entry deadline is the 11th June.
