Peace Love & Understanding’ by Staf, Ruby, Isla & Zola at The Office
The responses came in photographic, gif and video form and, while some entrants kept to a festive feel, other themes went way beyond Christmas. The project culminated in an awards night at Mount Anvil’s marketing suite in Shoreditch, which also sponsored the evening.
Marbled Candles by VW & BS
The winner of the still images category was Gravity Design with its London Skyline entry and the winner of the video category was Brinkworth with a festive Michael Jackson tribute.
