No to violence against women - United Nations European ad competition

Published: Thursday, August 04, 2011

Over 120,000 votes were cast in the United Nations contest aimed at finding the best ad to promote awareness about the battle to defeat gender-based violence. The winning entry "Say no to violence" was created by Gjoke Gojani.

More than 2,700 entries from 40 European countries - prepared by both professionals and ordinary members of the public - were submitted in the contest, and three winners will be selected. The winning entry, chosen by a seven-member jury of experts, will be revealed at an awards ceremony in November and a youth winner will be selected by Fabrica, the Benetton Group communication research centre and announced in September.

As winner of the public vote, Gjoke Gojani will be invited to attend the inauguration of the exhibit in Brussels later this autumn. The details on this event will be announced shortly.
