The goodnews for Australia is that we’re #2 to the USA in terms of metal, andthere is an Australian connection to the Grand Prix winning work. Allwill be revealed Thursday night at the award show at Skylight West inNew York.

The all-star jury (pictured by CB last night thrashingout the Grand Prix decision) all agreed the New York Festivals thisyear has made a significant move to only award the very best whichshould see the show attract the respect of the best agencies – and aqueue from the top people in the world to be on next year’s jury.
