10th Annual Dubai Lynx Awards Winners Announced

The Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity has tonight culminated in a dazzling ceremony and dinner where over 1,800 guests gathered to celebrate winners of the 10th annual awards.

Terry Savage, Chairman, Lions Festivals, said that work this year had again raised the bar. “There is an ever-increasing demonstration of globally-recognisable excellence at Dubai Lynx. But what’s also apparent is the surge of a distinctly, proudly regional tone. We celebrate what sets MENA apart as well as what allows it to compete on the world stage.”
