Miha Bevc, Competition Director: "After a challenging year for our industry - and the world in general - we all needed to stop for a moment and Re:Think our ways forward. At Golden Drum we used a year off to Re:Build our competition from the ground up so it is better suited for current and future communication trends. We have Re:Shaped and doubled the number of juries - from two to four. The sections, groups and categories have also been Re:Freshed and now include Creative Business Excellence Section and Covid-19 Group, the latter with a 50% discount on all entries created in response to the Covid pandemic. All this - and more - has been done with one thing in mind. To Re:Start the Future of our beloved and highly creative industry. I'm looking forward to seeing the last two years through your ever-inspiring work again."
