I think what they meant to say was ” you must have been born after 24 June 1977″

Ageist bastards.
Yes – all this young creative stuff – has anyone talked to Human Rights about this?
Why must it involve a current NZ passport? This will eliminate a number of student creatives now on placement at various NZ agencies. Someone should ask fairfax their reasons for this.
It’s not a Fairfax condition. It’s a Cannes condition. Ask the Cannes organisers if you’re moaning.
I can’t believe you have to be employed. Not an easy task, I’ve been made redundant, freelanced and now back on placement. So does that mean I can’t enter? What a bunch of it.
what about how it’s the same fucken brief as last year. Lazy self-serving fairfax.
If you’ve been made redundant, freelanced and now back on placement you may be pushing shit up hill anyway.
Does a placement count as employment or do we just have to lie about it?
7:13 – This isn’t just a free trip to Cannes, it’s a free trip to Cannes to represent NZ in the worldwide young creatives competition. If you don’t have an NZ passport then maybe try visiting http://www.fairfax.co.pitcairn or wherever you’re from and they might just let you enter.
There is no such thing as “an NZ passport”. It’s “a NZ passport”.Sheesh youse guys.
Well spotted.The ‘an’, as in ‘an history’,or before any ‘h’ is most quite often abused.What?
Anyone who needs to enter can have a letter of employment from me.May the very best ideas win. Who cares about anything else.Beesening & I were the UK entry back in ’95-thanks to John Hegarty’s pick. And we got a bronze. And my life changed because of that. Edward De Bono said something like ‘better to have so many ideas for them all to be wrong, than to have too few for fear being not right.’Right on.I have an English passport and New Zealand residency. My geneaology is Irish. My wife is a new Zealander born in Melbourne and daughter was born on the North Shore.Just send in your ideas.AB
yea nice Work 😀
