Just a friendly reminder that entries are due for the Variety Banner Competition end JUNE 10. We will accept scamps but would prefer finished ads.

The 2008 ANDY Award winners have been announced.

The list is short, but sweet. And no real surprises.

Get the Glass is still on a roll, and deservedly.

The interactive fun of Uniqlo makes it's annual appearance at the awards show, the bastards.

That crazy Norwegian multi-user live commenting thing that Ash showed us a while back made it through. Fun.

And Simpsonize Me has picked up recognition for being a bloody good example of what viral actually is.

Check out the rest of the winners here.

The unspeakable favors have paid off. I have been selected as Australia's representative in the 2008 Cannes Cyber Lions Jury.

Ashadi will also be attending the event side of things, so we'll be trying to organize some Bannerblog get together to put faces to the banners. SO if you are also attending get in touch.

PS: My mum thought I was getting a trip to Cairns which is understandable as she lives on the Gold Coast and wanted me to visit on my way over. Sorry mum.

I like both of these. I've wanted to rumble with a bear suit guy for a while now. I'll live vicariously through this vid.

This one ends up looking like Amy Whitehouse in the end.

OneShow has extended the entry deadline until February 8th. Enter Now>

Pay special attention to the entry requirements for the two banner categories - fixed and dynamic space, standalone versions / asset files have to be supplied on cdrom

Hopefully this means that OneShow will be distributing the shortlist / winners on CD using the actual ad assets, instead of video capturing them.
