TAF cancelled - nobody showed up.

AdAge reports; "PARIS ADVERTISING FESTIVAL COLLAPSES IN DISARRAY"

The Advertising Festival which was held in Disneyworld failed to attract a crowd. Despite over 600 hotel rooms being booked, only 50 odd people turned up the first day. There were more than 400 entries to the free awards, and to take some of the sting out of this scandal, we list the winners here (just read more).

Some of the sponsors were; Metro, adforum, Outdoor Advertising Association (of America), Lycos, Ad asia, Adline.

The Advertising Festival Gold Award (Sponsored by Millward Brown) went to Wieden & Kennedy London - UK
for the film COG , Honda Accord.
