Dubai Lynx online: Who’s blogging the Dubai Lynx Awards? March 23, 2007
Posted by Farrukh Naeem at copywriterjournalist.com in : Advertising , trackbackDubai Lynx Award 2007 is being blogged and written about around the world right now - in so many languages that one can’t even understand some of it 
If you’ve been following the coverage online, you already know that my blog is currently the only one in the world offering an attendees view with insights, commentary and pictures of all the Dubai Lynx Grand Prix and Gold winners. In fact, the official Dubai Lynx website has also chosen one of my photos for its official Dubai Lynx Gallery. They’ve got great pictures, including ones of the judging process - do visit it.
Want to visit fellow bloggers writing and blogging about Dubai Lynx? Here are all the ones I cam across…
Zeid Nasser, a friend and founder of AdBlogArabia and mediaME, who had come all the way from Jordan to attend this event, blogged about it on both his sites here and here.
Elias Dabbas of The Media Supermarket from Jordan has blogged about the Print Grand Prix Winner ‘Undo’ and has a very interesting point about 40 year old women and ‘Ctrl-Z’ buttons here.
Ibrahim Owais of the OceanCreep blog was hoping to see winners from Jordan, in his earlier entry here.
Ads2blog from Kuwait was excited about the country making it into the shortlist and now has an interesting discussion in the comments section on why the creative work from Kuwait couldn’t make it to the finals.
Saudi… has put together Saudi winners of Dubai Lynx here.
Tonic Communications of Dubai, which had brought in the Middle East’s first Gold Lion couple of years back, took home a handful of Dubai Lynx Awards and they’ve cited Gulf News coverage on their PR blog. The really juicy bits are on their real blog which allows comments and is probably one of the first corporate blogs in the region.
Sean and Graeme’s photo gallery has some funky pictures of the event - I think most pics are of JWT staff though.
Stan Lee of Brand DNA loves topiary and therefore blogged here about the Grand Prix Outdoor Winner where Lipton used topiary shaped like a tea cup and tea bag labels place on it to promote its Green Label. He calls the entry ‘Urban Spam’ though.
Phil Blizzard, Programme Director/Producer of AME Info Radio, has three amazing podcasts of the event with stage announcements, interviews and winners celebrating their hunt wins - here, here and here.
Rocco Stallvord of Adverblog has a brief post on the event here.
In the non-English sites, we have Roger Ruegger’s Frog Blog’s post about Dubai Lynx (its photo has me in it - not easy to spot me though).
Many more, I’m sure. If you’re blogging about it - let me know and I’ll add you to the post.
Below is what I’ve put up so far on Dubai Lynx - perhaps the most extensive coverage of the event in the world after the official Dybai Lynx website:
