CANNES, France—Thailand won its first Grand Prix award ever tonight, thanks to a campaign from property development company AP Thailand and digital ad agency CJ Worx.
The campaign is called “The Unusual Football Field” and the idea is simple. In the heavily populated district of Khlong Toei in Bangkok, the agency took any empty spaces, no matter the shape or size, and turned them into soccer fields.
“The vision to break the norm or what is possible with an abandoned space—it’s very clever,” said Sandra Planeta, Design Lions jury president and founder of Planeta Design in Sweden.
Planeta said she and the other jury members spent a great deal of time discussing the concept of design in the process of selecting the Grand Prix winner and really looked at the power that design has to influence culture.
