Adweek launches RealTimeCannes.com site
The 56th International Advertising Festival opens this weekend in Cannes, France. To cover the proceedings, Adweek is launching a brand-new Cannes site, RealTimeCannes.com, where digital editor Brian Morrissey and creative editor Eleftheria Parpis, armed with video cameras, will post news reports and video interviews throughout the week. They'll also be Tweeting their various adventures through their @bmorrissey and @eparpis accounts. In addition, we'll be embedding plenty of Cannes-related stuff from Twitter, Flickr and YouTube in the sidebar. (We'll be rotating people in and out of our live Twitter modules, starting today with the Cyber Lions jury, which is already chatting about the judging process.) To get you in the mood, we've also posted all of the Grand Prix winners in Film and Press from each year since 2000, and are asking you to pick your favorite from each batch. Hope to see you there. |

Design the official T-shirt for Cannes 2009
Uniqlo, the Japanese apparel company that swept the advertising award shows this year with its entertaining blog widget, is teaming up with the Cannes International Advertising Festival for a contest to select the official T-shirt of next year's festival. The company, which won Grand Prix honors in both Titanium and Cyber, is inviting people to submit designs for review by the 2009 judges. The design, of course, must be original and include a lion, the symbol of the festival. While only one design will honored as the "official T-shirt" of the event, 10 entries will be sold as T-shirts next summer in Uniqlo stores. Past festival T-shirts usually only got worn out of necessity (lost luggage and blazing heat topping that list). Maybe these will actually make their way back home with the attendees. —Posted by Eleftheria Parpis |
