This year Eurobest introduces two new categories, Mobile and PR. Mobile will award creative excellence in mobile websites, applications, video, games and technology and PR will honour the creative use of reputation management by the building and preservation of trust and understanding between individuals, businesses or organisations and their publics.

The Awards are judged by panels of expert, high-profile jurors from around the continent who determine the shortlists and then award Grand Prix, Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies to Europe’s best work.

"Eurobest continues to be the largest creative advertising and communications awards in Europe, where the best and most innovative European work in all disciplines is showcased and celebrated," commented Philip Thomas, CEO of Cannes Lions, organisers of Eurobest.

"It will be exciting to see be some excellent and inspirational work across the board being judged and we very much look forward to hosting this year’s event in Hamburg."

Eurobest takes place from 7 to 8 December at the historic Handelskammer, Hamburg’s Chamber of Commerce. The Festival will provide two essential days of focus, debate and networking for the European advertising and communications industry.
