 This week's guest judge is Harris Wilkinson, chief creative officer at The Marketing Arm in Dallas, Texas. Winner: Meow Wolf ' Convergence Station'. There were some really nice spots this week. But after going down the rabbit hole of "Convergence Station", it was impossible to climb back out and see any other work the same way. Wieden & Kennedy's mind-bending film for Meow Wolf starts with nods to Royksopp's classic "Eple" video, then goes (literally) off the rails and into a dreamlike world brought to life with impeccable craft and backed by (as far as Shazam tells me) an original 80's-infused composition that will climb into your ears while the video burns into your eyeholes.

 If you're an Aussie, the clever word play in this poster won't need any explanation, but for those not from these fair shores, here's a bit of context. Furphy is both a refreshing Australian beer, and a rumour or story, especially one that is untrue or unbelievable. Crack One is Aussie slang for both opening a beer and telling a joke or story. As a brand that's stood for sitting down over a few cold ones to share a few tall tales, Furphy encourages beer-drinkers to do just that. VIEW OUTDOOR

 Midsummer is one of Sweden’s biggest holidays. A holiday that is synonymous with two things, herring and unsettled weather (according to weather statistics from 1987 onwards, cold and rain dominate over the Midsummer period). The week before Midsummer, all grocery chains advertise herring at an extra low price. The question was how could Coop make people notice their particular offer? Our strategy was to base our campaign on recognition and the acknowledged unsettled Midsummer weather. The solution was a classic food range poster, soaked in rain. VIEW OUTDOOR
