Steve Lane, Dubai Lynx Festival Director, says:
"Despite today's economic climate, we are truly delighted to still see a growth in the number of entries from across the region, particularly in Media and Outdoor. More importantly, though, is the increase of entrant companies taking part, up nearly 8% versus last year, an endorsement from the industry that after only three years since the launch of the Dubai Lynx Awards, a Lynx trophy is the most coveted prize to win and the Festival the premier industry event to attend in the region."


All entries can be viewed during the 2nd Dubai International Advertising Festival held in the Sheikh Rashid Hall at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre where a 3-day programme of seminars and workshops addressing both regional and international industry issues will also take place. The winners will be revealed and honoured during the Dubai Lynx Awards Ceremony on the evening of 17th of March, which last year was attended by over 1600 guests.
