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!

Although we have postponed the announcement on the winners of the Batavus competition once, we have to do it again.
The number of highly creative Ads has been huge and also the amount was very good. Because a good decision needs to be made, we have to postpone the announcement until upcoming monday (January 31).
We have read in the comments on the platform that a lot of people are very curious (and we are too) but a little more patience is needed.
We wish you all a very good and creative weekend, come back on monday to find out whether you have won some of the great prizes!

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!

After the Beemster Cheese competition, we are going to stay in the Netherlands with a brand new competition for a brand which is also typically Dutch: Batavus!
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,-!
Go to www.creatad.com, read the briefing and start designing!

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
3rd place: Savannah – Iphone add 94wines
4th place: Giovanni – Sparkling Splash
5th place: Kees – Even if…
6th place: Meneer Campagne – 94wines_mer
7th place: Hugo – Kurken
8th place: Jesse – Kind White Wine
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!

All good things come to an end. That’s also the case with our competition for the University of Utrecht. The last few months we received loads of Ads for this competition. The amount of people that visitied our site and voted on these Ads were beyond all our expectations.
Today and tomorrow will be the last two days for new Ads. Hopefully you can get your latest ideas worked out in print, video or animation. Voting on all the Ads is possible until the 6th of November. We’re looking forward to assemble all the great ads and to announce the winners in the second week of November.

One of the great entries from the UU Competition

We hade quite a busy month in which we had to leave the office once in a while.
First we were nominated for Sprout magazine’s ‘Business Babies 2009′. An election for the 25 best entrepeneurs under 25 years. An honour to be selected but unfortunately Danny Mekic from domeinbalie.nl had the honour to win this years election (Congratulations to him!). Nevertheless it was great to be selected and to meet a lot of succesfull entrepeneurs. We experienced it as a compliment to us after a busy and exciting year!
A few days after the Sprout magazine event and election, we attended at the first edition of the ‘Co-creation event’. This event focusses on co-creation and crowsourcing oppurtunities. There were different kind of workshops and speakers on this subject.
We also hosted a workshop titled ‘Advertising goes Social’ . In this workshop we discussed the socials aspects of advertisement in 2009. By means of the great ads we have on CreatAd.com we showed the results of crowdsourcing by CreatAd. For a little impression of the co-creation event check out this video on Dutchcowboys and their review about our workshop.
After all, we can say we were glad to leave our precious office this month for these nice and usefull events. Up to the next ones.
