2008 One Show (www.enteroneshow.org)

The One Show, the premiere international advertising award show, sets the industry standard for creative excellence with categories including print, television radio, outdoor, innovative media and marketing, and integrated branding. Each year, a wide variety of work -- from multinational advertising giants to small regional shops -- is judged by an international jury of award-winning art directors, copywriters and creative directors.

The One Show jury spends hours and days into nights giving careful consideration to more than 18,000 entries from nearly 60 countries. Selecting 500 finalists from this large pool of work is often a labor of love. What differentiates the One Show from other advertising award shows has always been a consistent and focused regard for the creative concept. The One Show, simply, is about great ideas.

Every year, Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are announced at the awards show and party in New York City. From there, the work becomes part of our international traveling exhibition making annual stops in Japan, Brazil, China, South Africa and other host cities domestically and abroad. All winning work -- including Pencil and Merit winners -- is also archived in our online database, the most comprehensive collection of award-winning creative advertising anywhere on the Web.

More importantly, and perhaps the single biggest reason people enter the One Show is the prospect of having your work immortalized in The One Show: Advertising's Best Print, Radio and TV, one of the industry's most respected advertising annuals. It is yet another way to ensure that the great ideas of today will be preserved and continue to influence the important ideas of tomorrow.
