Sorry, Cannes Lions! This year we submitted only this idea, since we decided to dedicate the budget for the competition to the victims of devastating Haiti earthquake.

there's only one problem. they didn't donate. and that's a fact.

jamesrothenburg's picture 555 pencils

And you know this how?

Kateter's picture 2040 pencils

I'd know, believe me.

dsklan's picture 1699 pencils

they said they donate the budget, and i guess there is no budget;)

It is good...but speculate with Haiti to win Cannes it's not so great.
even if they did donate, i don't believe they deserve a price. But a mention would be nice. They deserve that for sure

Agree. If they enter this into any award show, then it's a lie.

veneg's picture 45 pencils

riding on other people's misfortunes for an award really doesn't do it !

Dev Kumar's picture 834 pencils

Yeah...poor sense and sensibility.

common read the line again it says they dedicated the money which was to be used for submitting more entries to Haiti earthquake affected people. If there are more entries it means more chance to win instead they submitting just 1 entry. they hav actually helped poor people instead of increasing their chance to win this does deserve to get nominated.

Well I think they should enter this because they're saying that they haven't invested in a better idea, which they would have, but instead used that money for better use. But by mentioning their good deed they're beating the purpose, but then again if they don't mention this fact, then their ad becomes weak. It's a double-edged sword, I tell you.

dsklan's picture 1699 pencils

had they ever submitted an ad to cannes before?!

Lame! I wanna use some serious cuss words for this one.

AXAY555's picture 578 pencils

ya go ahead use some seriuos cuss words to those who are helping Haiti earthquake affected people instead of sending more entries to Cannes.

mosho's picture 295 pencils

i didn't get it
does anyone make it clear to me :??

reject_subject's picture 211 pencils

"This year we submitted only this idea" - so they'are saying that they did submit, and it ONLY this idea, so, any conversation about will they enter any festival is unnecessary

Marlus Lau's picture 1759 pencils

Well, why don't they send something good enough to cannes instead of this crap?

Agree with Tubito: "...but speculate with Haiti to win Cannes it's not so great."

so if i am jury i would say I am donating ur award or your short list to some less hypocritical ad.

chinaski's picture 919 pencils

There's been a hell of an earthquake and these guys are seeking awards, using it... Very humane.

Don Rapper's picture 227 pencils

Its very bad taste to say that you donated to something, and even more if you are trying to get some award for it.

Just donate and keep to yourself, the world dont need your words, it needs your help.

Very bad ad...

Cannes is serious .... nice idea but that's all.

Simple ideas are the best !

Ensamblador's picture 219 pencils

Wrong. Is not right to do things like this this.

Dzsoi's picture 4987 pencils

Submitting to Cannes costs money. Having a good idea costs nothing. You are a liar and you are not creative. Anything else you want to say about yourself? Oh, yeah, you want: "Sorry Cannes Lions!" - so you are a pathetic egoist as well. Good self-promo I would say.
