Asia Pacific has won 9 CUP trophies and an impressive 53 nominations at the 5th Intercontinental Advertising CUP that has just concluded in Istanbul, Turkey."THE CUP is one of the most difficult award shows to win because the judging criteria is unlike any other festival.

"In international festivals like Cannes, big brands like Adidas, Nike, Coca Cola - which are mainly based in America or from a big country in Europe - almost always dominate the Grand Prix and Gold awards," says Satoshi Takamatsu, Founder and Chief Creative Director of Ground in Tokyo, who was Jury President at the 5th CUP.
"In this festival I feel like here we are following another philosophy. We opened our minds to understand different cultures from around the world, which are unfamiliar cultures to us. It's easy to find big flowers in Cannes, but it's difficult to find small beautiful flowers. At THE CUP, it does not matter how big the flower is: if the flower is related to a cultural background, we try to find it no matter how small it is."
THE CUP brings together the crème de la crème of advertising campaigns created across four continents. Winners from ADFEST (Asia Pacific), FIAP (Ibero America), Golden Drum (Eastern Europe) and ADC*E (Europe) are entered into THE CUP, where they are judged by the highest-level international jurors.
THE CUP features categories such as 'Best Integration of a Global Idea into a Local Culture', 'Best Universal Idea Created in a Local Market', and 'Best Use of Local Culture', which sets it apart from any other advertising festival in the world.
