Update on participating Ads

January 31, 2011

As you have read in our previous blogpost, there was uncertainty about the way some Ads gathered votes. We reported that we are looking into the whole thing and we have come up with the result; all the votes gathered in this competition are gathered in a legal way.

This is why the 8 Ads that are currently on top will also participate in winning the community prizes. Because it would be very unfair to first get them out and than put them back in, we have come to an agreement in this situation in which the first 16 Ads will be judged.
All 16 Ads will compete for the community prizes on the same level so chances are the same for everyone.

Bear with us in this situation, we are doing our very best to make sure everybody stays satisfied. We believe this is the best option there is regarding this situation and in the future we will take a second look at the voting system.

We count on your understanding and creativity!

Second update on the Batavus competition

January 23, 2011

As a lot of you have seen, a lot has happened over the weekend on the platform of CreatAd. Some Ads have gathered a lot of votes which, according to us, is done incorrectly and not according to the rules.
The Ads that are currently in the top 8 will (until further notice) be expelled from the CreatAd competition so we can do a proper investigation in this.
We believe that the ‘game’ should be played in a fair way and we will do the utmost to keep it fair.
You will hear from us soon, but we can guarantee you, we’re on it!

Batavus BUB

One of the oldest bicycle brands in the Netherlands (1904) has introduced a new kind of bike this year which design is inspired by a paper clip: the Batavus BUB. Click here to see how that was done by the designers of Batavus. Batavus characterizes itself for many years by combining quality, comfort, safety and design and has done that with the creation of the BUB as well.

During the launch this year, several campaigns were held for the BUB. A close cooperation with Radio 538 (with DJ ISIS and Dennis Ruyer) was established, a BUB was made for the World Championships in South Africa and together with KiKa (a Dutch charity fund that helps children with battling cancer) a special KiKa BUB was made. Starting now, Batavus asks your help to design!

You can now create an Ad for the Batavus BUB which is already has a creative and innovative design on its own. A real challenge to unleash your creativity! Click here to go to the briefing immediately!

You can not only win great money prizes, worth € 2250,-, but Batavus will also give away 6 Batavus BUBs! That makes the total value of the prizes € 5250,-!

February 10, 2010

Evelien has won the first price as company winner for the 94wines competition with her design! The people at 94Wines really loved the strong visuals of the colors and the fact that it is really mysterious. A very decisive part in naming her winner was the fact that she came up with a slogan: ‘Vintastic’ which the people over at 94Wines really loved! The rest of the winners are:

Name Designer - Name Design

1st place: Evelien – Vintastic

2nd place: Giovanni – Unlock your code

Congratulations to all of you! The winners will be contacted as soon as possible. Make sure you do the WineID test on 94wines.com and that you send the result to info@94wines.com so that 94wines can send you the wines of your taste!

Besides the winners we want to thank the whole community again for submitting so many great designs! Both the board of 94wines as the community responded great in this competition because of the submission of all kinds of designs. Some designers took a little risk by changing a company’s logo but that might have inspired others in their design. We were surprised specifically by the characteristics of the 94wines that were expressed in different designs. Stuff like this show true dedication and we appreciate that! Stay tuned, because some very interesting competitions are coming up soon!
