PR Image Award 2018: Mini Molars Cambodia wins with the image "Dream Big"
"We are inundated with innumerable images every day. At the same time, there have never been so many top-quality images in circulation as there are today. This serves only to raise the bar for entrants to our PR Image Award. This year too, a number of brilliant subjects have managed to stand out from the torrent of images. Apart from the quality of their craftsmanship, they tell a story that moves the viewer. They succeed in irritating, provoking or inspiring us," Edith Stier-Thompson, CEO of news aktuell and initiator of the PR Image Award, says.
Ulf Zuschlag and his wife Frau Sombo, co-founders and chairpersons of Mini Molars Cambodia e.V., received the prize at a ceremony in Grünspan in Hamburg this evening. "I'm very pleased to receive this accolade! The image is a one-in-a-million shot. It tells the story of independence and self-affirmation. Apart from our medical support, we aim above all to give the children of Cambodia something on their way through life: Courage, self-confidence, hope and optimism."
news aktuell CEO Edith Stier-Thompson said of the winning photo: "The two boys, one standing on the shoulders of the others, in front of the graffiti 'Dream Big' really touch me, as they radiate incredibly positive power. NGOs face the difficult task of highlighting abuse, without depriving those affected of their dignity, while simultaneously making the gravity of their situation clear. This picture has succeeded in this in a vivid way; it communicates great optimism and a strong will to live, despite conditions of dire poverty.
The photo with the title "Dream Big" captivated the jury and the public equally, securing the top spot overall. It was taken by the London-based orthodontist Anton Bass.
Video journalist David Rohde and Janina von Jhering, deputy head of corporate communications at dpa Deutsche Presse-Agentur / news aktuell, conducted the ceremony this year. German singer and songwriter ALINA made a guest appearance, performing her "Die Einzige" in front of around 250 guests from the media and PR sector. A number of media and showbiz personalities were sighted on the red carpet.
The winner this year for Switzerland was the image "Alpenleben" (Life in the Alps), submitted by the Valais-based marketing agency Grächen und St. Niklaus Tourismus und Gewerbe. The best PR image from Austria for the yearis the "Minipig Rudi wieder gesund" (Minipig Rudi restored to health) by Vetmeduni Vienna.
