Morning Update: Cannes defends grand prix winner against claims of ‘bullshit’
Mumbrella Asia: Cannes defends grand prix winner against claims of ‘bullshit’ from Singapore creative who says agency falsely claimed credit
Objections made by a Singapore-based creative to the legitimacy of a Cannes grand prix winner he says repurposed an idea to curb anaemia in Cambodia to win an award have been rebuffed by the festival organisers.
The co-founders of Singapore creative agency Arcade, Gary Tranter and Matt Cullen, were listed on the credits of Geometry Dubai’s Luck Iron Fish Project entry, which was awarded the grand prix in the Production Design Lions for a fish-shaped piece of iron for use in Cambodian cooking pots to curb anaemia in iron-deficient rural communities.
