The Golden Drum 2005
The Golden Drum 2005
Art Direction and Media Awards Competition
The twelfth international advertising festival Golden Drum and Media Meeting will take part during 2-7 October in the new auditorium on the 12th floor of Grand Hotel Bernardin in Portorož, Slovenia.
Art Direction and Media Awards Competitions are open worldwide. This year the festival will be open to creative works from the entire world in the Art direction group (graphic design, direct marketing, publications design and packaging) and in the Media awards competition. Advertising campaigns, Web sites and TV & Film Promos are also open worldwide with no regional limitations.
In addition to the competitive program that the jury evaluates publicly together with the audience we are developing the creative academy into in a kind of school of higher learning with a faculty of European and world masters of advertising. But the social aspect of the five-day gathering is also of tremendous importance. The ambition to be the most hospitable festival we know is not only a promotional motto. They are convinced that the gathering of all professional, expert, business and national structures that the particular culture of the Portorož festival makes possible is an opportunity for getting closer of not only people but also of their cultures. The national presentations Ethos and Ethnos and the national receptions are becoming ever more competitive and prestigious introductions of the spirit and the poetics of the national milieus we also live in and with which we would like to communicate, co-operate and do business with. They are a unique opportunity for a real contact and understanding of things that otherwise would certainly remain more foreign to us. The active social concept of the festival in Portorož, which, in fact, is a campus with an all-day and night program, makes possible the otherwise rare but so precious vertical integration, communication, socializing and getting-to-know each other.
Online registration is available at the redesigned Golden Drum web site. The deadline for entry registration and confirmation of personal participation is September 9th, 2005.
Call for Entries with all relevant information was sent out on Friday, July 8, with the Golden Drum 2005 poster and the invitation for the Piran Poster Award competition.

On Friday, October 7th will be the Golden Drum New European Final Awards ceremony in Europa Hall in St. Bernardin congress center.
