IVCA Awards - 2009 Winners

IVCA Award Winners 2009

The winners of the 2009 IVCA Awards, held in association with the drpgroup, were revealed today at the ceremony hosted at The Grosvenor House Hotel.
Following the release of the nominees at the end of February, Gold, Silver and Bronze winners were awarded across 30 categories, including Best Direction, Public Relations, e-Learning, Events and Public Display and Practical Training.
The 2009 awards also saw the introduction of Highly Commended awards, where up to three additional projects per category were recognized for their talents.
The evening reached its climax with the presentation of The Grand Prix Award to Wilder Films for their entry, ‘Enjoy the Match’, produced for The Football League. The short film was also a Gold Award winner in the Industry Award for Effective Communication category.  A complete list of winners is available below.
Jo Brand delightfully compered the event and music was provided by the Rick Parfitt Jnr Rock band.
The IVCA Awards are the leading international Awards for corporate communications.  The Awards recognize excellence in corporate communications with awards made in 30 categories including the Grand Prix award. The Awards were judged by over 130 respected communications professionals over three weeks.
Dale Parmenter, Managing Director of associate sponsor drpgroup, said “We are very proud to be part of the 2009 IVCA, it was a fantastic evening of celebration and recognition of the best of the best in visual communication. I believe these are incredibly exciting times and this is a year of opportunity and a chance to really demonstrate what we are all capable of and how our industry makes a positive contribution across all walks of life. The awards really was a fantastic showcase”
Marco Forgione, IVCA Chief Executive, added: “The Awards dinner on Friday evening was a wonderful celebration of the very best in the industry.  We saw the incredible power and creativity of the industry, its ability to establish meaningful emotional engagement with audiences.  The event itself provided a unique opportunity for clients from across the sector to see the depth of talent and ability in the corporate communications industry and its ability to add value and significant commercial advantage to any campaign.
The standard of entries this year was extremely high and I know from judging the Grand Prix that the Gold Winners set an incredible standard.  The entries this year prove that clients are increasingly aware of the value of this industry and that there is terrific talent within.”
