Hotel Slovenija will host Golden Drum’s friends, united under the slogan “Creativity 4 Change” from 17 to 18 October 2019.
Entry submission is now open until 13 August 2019, that being also the deadline for more favourable than ever Early Bird delegate registrations. Mastercard, partner of the second edition of the cashless Festival, enables even friendliest prices also this year.
The Golden Drum competition is divided into two main sections WHAT and WHY. Each section is subdivided into groups and categories that reflect the latest trends in the advertising and creative industry. Both sections are judged by International Juries, featuring top industry professionals.
Works entered in the WHY section will be judged by a jury led by Álvaro Rodrigues, Chief Executive Officer & Chief Creative Officer, Fullpack, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, while Tiffany Rolfe, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, R/GA, USA, will overlook the judging of entries entered in the WHAT section, each together with 10 amazing professionals.
The tradition of the Young Drummers Competition continues, this year together with the Slovenian Tourist Board, with whom the Festival will invite young professionals under 30 years of age from 57 countries to take part in the competition.
With small changes in the length of the programme and faster and more dynamic formats of the talks, Golden Drum brings the festival programme closer to those who consider time a rare commodity. Over two days the Golden Drum stage will welcome around 40 international speakers who will talk about actions that drive positive change in different fields and will be turning our focus to advertising for the better of tomorrow. First of them are already known.
The Golden Drum Festival wants to inspire and empower creative thinking and action for positive change in many different ways, shining a light on it through its competition and congress program. With the slogan Creativity 4 Change, the festival this year is turning the focus to advertising for the better of tomorrow.
This year the festival is adding a new award to the list. Local spirit group, renamed into Genius Loci/Local spirit, has been elevated to a new and highly appreciated award in the region, emphasizing and celebrating the distinctive cultures.
