Out of more than 5,000 submissions from 21 countries, Up in The Sky has been announced as Best of Show and Silver prize winners in the 2017 Summit Creative Award competition for its creative work for World HIV AIDs Day 2016.
The exclusively online campaign won a Best of Show award in the Public Service category and consisted of a short film called ‘Tick Tock’ and a series of 4 impactful visuals. A standalone visual titled ‘’Condom’’ won Silver in the Online Advertising/Marketing Category.
“We are delighted to receive these awards as they are a testament to our belief that creativity can be a force for good” said Oje Ojeaga, CEO Up in The Sky Ltd. “We took on this brief to engage the minds and hearts of young people on the need to know their HIV status and that there is a life worth living if they are HIV positive. Though Nigeria has the 2nd highest incidence of HIV AIDs in the world, it is not a death sentence’’.
