 This week's guest judges are Shari Walczak and Shane Ogilvie, founding partners, The Garden, Toronto. Winner: Heroes of Today ' Intolerance Is Still There'. This powerful short film tells a story of the true inhumanity experienced by LGBTQ+ communities. The juxtaposition of past and present is a powerful device and serves to tell the story of heinous hate crimes that should be a thing of the past, but sadly, as the spot reveals, continue to be a daily reality for so many marginalized communities today. It's artful in its execution and the use of deep fake technology was good, although a tad clumsy in its reveal at the end. In all, the spot is a strong reminder of how far we still need to go to be better.

 Christmas is often a time of indulgence and extravagance but that doesn't mean we should be careless in our behaviour over the holiday season. After we’re done working away in the kitchen and have enjoyed our festive feasts, there's the temptation to be wasteful to simply throw away our leftovers as we turn our attention to presents and parlour games. In a bid to encourage a more sensible, considerate approach to Christmas consumption, IKEA Russia has launched a dramatic new spot that shows just what might happen if we carelessly discard our excess food VIEW THE SPOT

 In response to the serious impact on the events and entertainment business (music festivals, plays, marathons, exhibitions, all sorts of events), caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, a group of entities created an online platform that aims to help the Audiovisual Union.

The merchandising products of music festivals and other events, as well as from the brands that are usually present in those events, will be on sale at www.uncancel2020.pt and the revenue will be entirely used to support professionals from that sector.

 Jollibee has launched an interactive storytelling experience #JolliEverAfter that invites the TikTok community in the Philippines to star in their own romantic comedy on the social media platform. The campaign launched on 24th November has garnered over 8 million views in under 48 hours. The campaign, created by BBH Singapore, taps into the TikTok challenges format to tell stories. By launching 9 sub-challenges – each representing a crucial moment in a rom-com story arc – the campaign invites anyone to do any challenge to fill in the gaps in the story. The result is an infinite number of possible storylines that span the creators’ own imaginations. Each challenge invites people to take on the role of one of our two protagonists, to tell that part of the story. Whether it’s the Call Your Crush challenge, that gets TikTokers to confess their crush to someone they like in real life; or the First Date challenge, where they act out their perfect dates – sometimes with the help of Jollibee chicken; or the 10 Years Later challenge, where they break out of the typical rom-com endings to create their own weird and wonderful conclusions to the story.

 That's not a lottery number. Violence against women - particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence - is a major public and clinical health problem and a violation of women's human rights. It is rooted in and perpetuates gender inequalities. In Italy, 1 in 3* women experience physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime, mostly by an intimate partner. This is a stark reminder of the scale of gender inequality and discrimination against women. Source: Istat Statistics VIEW THE AD
