A member of Thit Kho team, who won first print prize with the work “Vietnam - Visiting is Living”, said, “We want to emphasize the differences between tourism in Vietnam and that in other countries. Not only paying a visit, but also tourists integrating with simple and peaceful country and enjoying life with plain people there.”

Terry Savage, chairman of Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, spoke at the Gala dinner last Thursday. “You must have self-belief, you must learn, be open-minded to new ideas, try and gain experience by visiting Cannes or Spikes. You must have energy and commitment and if you show all of these attributes, it will happen and it will just happen in other young creative competitions.”

Vietnam Advertising Festival 2009 followed Vietnam Young Lions from December 10 to 13 at the Nguyen Du Cultural and Sports Center, 116 Nguyen Du Street, District 1, HCMC. The festival displayed many winning works from the Cannes Lions 2009 together with 26 competition works from this year’s contest.

The festival featured many activities such as the Big Show 2009 displaying hundreds of typical products of Vietnam-based advertising companies, the conference “From doom and gloom to boom” with the participants of nearly 200 Vietnamese enterprises to share experience and exchange ideas in order to survive and make profits for an advertising industry and three special workshops to make a good chance for young people, who are interested in advertising industry, to come learn and share knowledge with experts who are working in this field.
