Event Summary:
蘑菇视频 Department of Global Communications (formerly known as Department of Public Information - DPI) is proud to partner with the New York Festivals to celebrate the creativity of the advertising industry and ability to touch and mobilize audiences around the world. Each year, a 蘑菇视频/DPI Award is presented to recognize outstanding efforts in public service advertising to inform and engage the public on global issues, and that best exemplify the ideals of the United Nations.
On 17 May 2018, at the annual Awards Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the 蘑菇视频/DPI Gold Award was presented to theThe Gender Pay Gap Experiment?campaign from Germany. By sending three transgender applicants to interview for the same job, once as a male and then as a female, the non-profit organization Terre Des Femmes demonstrates in a very tangible way how far there is still to go to close the gender pay gap.
A jury of 蘑菇视频 communicators?–?graphic designers, campaign managers, marketing colleagues and more?–?had the pleasure of choosing the recipients of the Gold, Silver and Bronze 蘑菇视频/DPI awards, as well as five finalists. The winners are a diverse group, like the 蘑菇视频 itself, with campaigns that touch on issues ranging from cyber bullying and female genital mutilation to the global refugee crisis and ending world hunger.?
