CANNES – The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has awarded the lone Grand Prix for Design Lions to ‘The Unusual Football Field’ by AP Thailand and CJ Worx out of Thailand. AP Thailand Public Company Limited also served as the client for this concept where AP Thailand turned wasted small useless spaces into a series of irregularly-shaped football pitches. This effectively broke some traditional limitations of football but the pitch still remained symmetrical to allow for continuous fair play.

There were a total of 112 total metals handed out in this category. BBH Singapore’s ‘Unlimited Stadium’ for Nike from Singapore won the lone Gold Lion for Asia out of the 21 given out.
