The Osocio bloggers choose the best campaign every month. At the end of the year we will have twelve great campaigns from which we will choose the Campaign of the Year. This is very nearby. Stay tuned. At the end of January we will announce the Campaign of the Year 2010.
In December we have two winners:
What’s so great about growing old?
This cheeky campaign from Y&R Peru answers the question in some funny ways.
It’s not a campaign for old people. It’s a campaign aimed at young people with visions of how they might be one day.
Attraction Le Manga
This is most striking campaign from 2010.
Japan 2014. Come into the life of Hiro, Koichi and Ren and interact with your webcam and facebook profile: Attraction.
You as viewer receive prompts to help the characters in their adventures via motion or color recognition with your webcam. All in manga style in this 10 minute adventure.
During this adventure it becomes clear that the story is about the struggle to resist the influence of friends and later on about tobacco addiction.

The Osocio bloggers choose for the extremely funny campaign from Guide Dogs NSW / ACT.
The campaign shows perfectly how important the role of a guide dog is. Working 24/7, never taking holidays and training for 10 years.
Watch real people being interviewed for the role, and see how they handled it.
Two campaigns on the second place:
- What we don’t have makes us stronger. Campaign from Croatia with the intention to strengthen the position of the Paralympic sports and their athletes in the society on the same par with the so-called mainstream sports.
- Some countries treat journalists like you treat a pen. Simple and superb artwork about the (lack of) freedom of speech.

For October the Osocio bloggers voted the most for two completely different campaigns. And just like last month it was a close call again.
The winner is “It Gets Better” project with one vote more than No. 2.
Following the tragic suicides of gay youth who felt ashamed of being outed by “friends” and peers, sex columnist Dan Savage started the “It Gets Better” project, in which gay adults share their experiences in an effort to let the younger generation know that there is a better future waiting for them.

September was one of the most productive months ever on Osocio. And it was a good month speaking about quality of campaigns. Therefore it was a close call. We voted on many different campaigns.
But we have a winner: Signs of trouble on the I-75, the “fake” historic landmark signs.
The I-75 is an American interstate highway that begins at the Canadian border in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan and stretches 1,175 miles (1,891 km) through the conservative heartland of America.

In July we have two winners:
Alzheimer’s Erasers
Confrontating campaign piece from Alzheimer’s New Zealand. Actual working erasers were hollowed out and fitted with USB memory sticks. The message displayed on the top is: ‘Alzheimer’s erasers your memories. Save them.’ On the reverse side was the Alzheimer’s New Zealand logo and website.

Dispensing Dirty Water
A vending machine dispenses 8 flavours of water: cholera, dengue, dysentery, hepatitis, malaria, salmonella and yellow fever. Consumers can purchase their favourite flavour to donate to UNICEF’s efforts to provide untainted water to those in need via their Tap Project.

The winner in June is the low tech hack “Instant Oil Spill” which can take over any website with oil mess.
This year, Cannes Lions introduced a new Grand Prix to “reward entries ineligible to win a Grand Prix in their sections because they are made for charities and public services”. The winner is chosen from not-for-profit entries that won Gold in any of the Cannes Lions contests (e.g. Direct, Outdoor, Film, Cyber, Media etc). The choice is made by the Titanium & Integrated jury. In 2011, we’ll send results of the Osocio’s Best Campaign of the Year contest to the Cannes Lions jury to save their time:-)
We are glad that the choice of Osocio was confirmed by the Cannes Lions jury. And we are really happy for the Metropolitan Police and their agency AMV BBDO from London, UK. Our congratulations!

For the first time we have two winners.
The first one is football related: Every Team Needs a Shirt.
Besides working for Adidas Agency 180 in Amsterdam and LA also worked for the less privileged players.
The second winner is from India, one of the most economical ideas that clicked: Old Is The New New.
The idea was based on a simple thought that “An old book is new to people who haven’t read it”.
