The Dubai International Advertising Festival, Dubai Lynx 2011, has been concluded yesterday during an Awards Ceremony at the Madinat Jumeirah, gathering over 1,400 people from across the MENA region, following two days of insightful seminars conducted by top speakers.

Y&R Dubai has been awarded both Agency of the Year Award and Network of the Year Award. Elephant Cairo won the Film Grand Prix, and together with Advantage Marketing and Advertising, they received the Grand Prix for the Film Craft category for their ‘Never say no to Panda’ dairy campaign.

In total, 22 Gold, 58 Silver and 92 Bronze awards were given out last night. No Grands Prix have been awarded in the Outdoor, Print/Outdoor Craft, Radio, Interactive and Direct, making 2011 one of the worst years for those categories.
