Dubai Lynx organizors withdraw Agency of The Year 2009 Award
April 1st, 2009 Zeid Nasser (Admin)
The organizers of the 3rd Dubai Lynx Awards announced today that they are withdrawing the Agency of the Year award from FP7 Doha and the trophy will subsequently now not be awarded this year. Investigations after this year’s award show have revealed numerous examples of work from FP7 Doha that did not meet the Dubai Lynx entry criteria and subsequently these 18 submissions and the associated seven awards have been withdrawn.
Those awards were: 1 Gold Print campaign, 1 Gold TV/Cinema campaign, 3 Silver Print campaigns, 1 Silver Outdoor campaign and 1 Bronze TV/Cinema campaign. In addition, ten pieces which were shortlisted in the Print and Outdoor sections were also disqualified.

Amazing news. I’m in shock.
This has finally given some credibility to teh Lynx awards. Very brave call to make, but as discussed here, quite obvious.
Neid, good job on providing a forum for us to vent our spleen.
Would hate to be going to work this morning in Doha….

The anatomy of a gummi bear – the anatomy of festival fakery.
Woohoo.
