The One Show Cultural Driver Gold Pencil went to Scholz & Friends Berlin for The Tampon Book: a book against tax discrimination on behalf of The Female Company. This special award recognizes influential ideas and executions that had a major impact in their respective cultures and environments, and exist outside the traditional categories in advertising and design.
“Recognizing and elevating this amazing work from around the world is some positive news that can inspire the industry,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club. “As a nonprofit organization with the mission to support the creative community, our goal has been to help unify and uplift the industry by providing this year’s largest global platform for showcasing creative excellence.”
All of this year’s Pencil winners can be viewed at the specially-built The One Show 2020 Winners' Showcase. Pencil winners are presented on the platform by discipline, allowing visitors to view work case studies and credits, and also search for winners by agency, creative, brand, discipline and region.
A total of 19,688 pieces from 71 countries were entered into The One Show 2020. This year’s jury upheld the show’s long-standing high standards as one of the industry’s most difficult honors to win, awarding just 552 Pencils: 171 Golds, 169 Silver and 213 Bronze.
