We’ve won ‘best front cover’ in
Europe’s annual Grand Prix communication awards competition – making
it the third year running that we’ve been an overall winner
in this premier contest.
The 2006 accolade went to an issue of Hi!, which we write
and design – working with the Oslo-based in-house team – for
oil, energy and aluminium multinational Hydro.
The awards are presented by FEIEA, the association of 12 national
communications professional bodies. Every year, the best entries
from Austria, Belgium Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy,
Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK, compete in
a number of award categories.
Our winning cover illustrated the work-life balance theme of one
2006 issue. It showed a man working at a computer with a sleeping
baby over his shoulder.
In 2004 and 2005, Hi! was named ‘best multilingual
magazine’ in these ‘best in Europe’ awards.
