Untold numbers of antiquities and monuments are being actively removed from harm's way, where possible. But many others have already been, or will be, lost. The loss of art, and its cultural value, occurs in almost every armed conflict. The challenges in saving artifacts during an active war are many, and rarely a priority as infrastructure and resources are rightfully dedicated to more pressing priorities.

They are joint-regional Creative Directors for Central Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa on P&G. They roam this region meeting weird and wonderful people while trying to beat what the Saatchi NY office achieved last year at Cannes.BEST TV Like our photo, The Ode to Axehad the best intentions of being funny and macho but turned out to be quite frankly, gay. So our thumbs up must go to the Carling commercial. Nice insight. Great use of beards. BEST PRINT We have to reach for the abstain button on this one, as it's our team that produced the Head & Shoulders 1961 campaign. So we can't say that it's the greatest H&S ad we have ever seen. Nor can we say that Nick, Jorg, Daniela and Arturo are all legends. So coming in 2nd place, sorry 1st, is the Wall Campaign for the Audio Products Group. BEST OUTDOOR When it comes to outdoor we thought the Bayantel DSL 'Problem Downloading' billboard was a good use of the medium but for us the real standout was the Mitsubishi campaign from Brazil. It's a beautifully crafted campaign and should do well during the festival season. FUEL SHOWS ROUGH TERRAIN IS KIDS STUFF FOR VOLVO A beautifully produced series of print ads for the Volvo XC 90 via Fuel, Portugal. VIEW THE CAMPAIGN ALL BLACKS VISUALISE THE HAKA FOR ADIDAS AND 180 AMSTERDAM âThe All Blacksâ Haka has often been misunderstood and for this yearâs World Cup we felt it was time to explain its true meaning,â says Sean Thompson, Creative Director 180 Amsterdam, âThe Haka, performed at the start of every game, is a ritualistic performance, which summons up the spirits of the ancestors to help the team climb step by step to the sun and glory. Summing up the Impossible is Nothing campaign, the film delves deeply into the Maori traditions using genuine Maori artists to help the team tell their story. We hope that by explaining its true meaning, other nations will show the Haka the respect it deserves.â VIEW THE SPOT New print / outdoor / ambient This ad encourages people to be more tolerant and open with Holebi's at work.

The collaboration resulted in the development of an entirely new filmmaking approach: actual artificial blood was filmed in enormous water tanks and combined with digital graphics. The music is the work of Fazil Say, a Turkish artist exclusively contracted to the Dortmund Concert Hall. The piano virtuoso was recently hailed in the French press as one of the greatest musical talents of the twenty-first century (Le Figaro).

Click here to view this spot Guest comments for featured spot Guest comments from Poppe van Pelt, Founding Creative Partner of independent Amsterdam-based ad agency SELMORE: For the viral campaign we were looking for a shooting location that oozed depression and really underlined the concept of the campaign that NationalJobBank.nl can rescue people from their dead-end jobs. We wanted this former Eastern European style of a gloomy office look and feel. And guess what? Instead of having to travel to Kiev or Albania, we found the perfect location in our own country. In this sad business park in Wormerveer, The Netherlands. Goes to show that boring office environments are a universal phenomenon that is not limited to a particular country or region. As the icing on the cake we found Polish director Miron Bilsky, whose interpretation best fitted with what we had in mind, while his totalitarian working approach got us 47 (!) shots in one day! But the crucial element that really got this viral campaign going was the fact that you could send it to friends and colleagues with a personalized company name in a neon sign on top of the building in the opening shot; without any Eastern European censorship, by the way - so people could send funny or silly company names to each other, again underlining the fact that they needed to switch jobs.â Go to the best TV page or Click here to view this spot  ... and the other spots are equally good!
