The UN has awarded three agencies for their pro-bono work that reflects the ideals and goals of the UN. The UNDPI awards are jointly sponsored by the UN Department of Public Information (UNDPI) and The New York Festivals.

Silver went to Leo Burnett Paris (France) for a campaign for "Enfance et Partage," a non-governmental organization (NGO) working to prevent child abuse.
