The 2020 winner certificate

At the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards, each winner gets awarded with our beautifully designed dolphin trophy, which, over the years, has become an award with high recognition value.

In addition to that, we hand over a personalized, large format certificate – which is a proudly cherished specialty of our competition: The diploma features a totally new, custom-made design every year and is not only a confirmation of your award, but also a professional, stand-alone work of art!

We are happy to say that we can offer creative professionals a platform to present their work to a wide audience – and that our creative spirit is not limited to the audiovisual crafts only!

Currently, we have an ongoing collaboration with “die Graphische”, Vienna’s well-established Higher Secondary School for Graphic Design.

In 2020, students of “die Graphische” had the possibility to enter a competition in which they got the chance to design this year’s winner certificate without any creative limitations. The lucky winner will be invited to our next Awards Days in Cannes in 2021, which stimulated a high number of entries. We got to see a large variety of very different approaches to potential designs for our certificate, which made the decision very hard. The students described their work and what drove them in short pitches, based on which we picked this year’s winner:

Ms. Caroline Reinhardt surprised us with a classic vintage design that places emphasis on the stage of our high-class event.

She did her research and decided to concentrate on vintage-style elements from the 1950s, modelling the design around a centered middle axis. Small wavy elements were arranged to the left and right of our logo, the dolphin, to represent the sea. Leaves of palm trees were integrated as a symbol for the beach in Cannes.

The spotlights focus on the winners themselves. Ms. Reinhardt claims she intended to make the certificate look very different from an event poster. She wanted the winners to remember the huge success every time they look at the certificate.

Thank you, Ms. Reinhardt, for your skillful and accomplished design!

Our collaboration with “die Graphische” will continue for the next two years at least.

We are happy to give young professionals an opportunity to present their ambitious work to a global audience!
