10 FEIEA Grand Prix Recognising the best in Europe FEIEA’s annual Grand Prix awards competition is open to anyone involved in business communications with employees or organisation members as their main target audience. Reflecting a sharpening focus on internal communication, the number of categories for external communications has been progressively reduced. The 2009 competition will focus exclusively on internal communication. This section reports on the 2007 and 2008 competitions. 2007 The FEIEA Grand Prix 2007 attracted 209 entries from 10 countries. Each award-winning entry went through a rigorous three-stage judging process, including an assessment by a pan- European panel of experienced communications professionals who met in Brussels in September. The judging panel was joined for the first time by representatives from the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. FEIEA President Daniel Ambühl presented the awards at a glittering gala dinner in the ballroom of London’s Park Lane Hotel on Friday 9 November. Hosted by the British Association of Communicators in Business (CiB), the awards evening combined the FEIEA Grand Prix awards with CiB’s communication strategy awards and communicator of the year presentations. The event was attended by more than 300 communicators from across Europe. Earlier in the day, during the FEIEA Academy, delegates had the opportunity to hear winners from the Grand Prix 2006 talk about their successful entries. The combined FEIEA and CiB awards dinner was held in the magnificent art deco ballroom of London’s Park Lane Hotel, where winners celebrated late into the night FEIEA The Report 2007-08 Award winners in 2007 Best internal multi-language publication 1st Agenda (Volvo) Sweden 2nd Voyage (for Eurostar by Beetroot Publishing) UK 3rd IT Matters (s IT Solutions) Austria Best internal magazine/news-magazine 1st You and Me (for Deutsche Telekom AG by G+J Corporate Media GmbH), Germany 2nd Enterprising (for The Prince’s Trust by Beetroot Publishing), UK 3rd Mijn Zorg (for Achmea Zorg by Maters & Hermsen Journalistiek) Netherlands Best internal newspaper/newsletter 1st Fortis Tribune (Fortis) Belgium 2nd DSB i dag (DSB) Denmark 3rd Hexagon (for F Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd by BurdaYukom Publishing GmbH) Germany Best annual report 1st Creating Better Futures: Annual Report 06/07 (Advance Housing & Support) UK 2nd Annual Report 2006: Economic Region Austria-CEE (Siemens AG Österreich) Austria 3rd Rapport d’activités 2006 (Vivaqua) Belgium Best front cover 1st Hexagon (for F Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd by BurdaYukom Publishing GmbH) Germany 2nd Novice (Merkur) Slovenia 3rd Aposta (CTT Correios de Portugal) Portugal Grand Prix presentations: Ballroom, Park Lane Hotel, London

Magazines, newspapers, e-newsletters, intranets, communication strategies and more have all passed under the judges’ magnifying glass. On one magazine cover, a seat with the lid open in a toilet cubicle provoked much discussion. Danish judge Poul Erik Larsen explained that the scene was an employee’s work-place. Inside, the cleaner says that if people are bothered about the nature of her work, that’s their problem. “Perhaps the lid being open symbolises that people need to be openminded!” suggested Poul Erik. Laughter among the judges, then on to the next entry. Outside, it’s sunny. Inside, we plough on. A deadline looms - we must finish by tomorrow lunch-time and there’s plenty more to do.
