Adfest was initially going to be held in Pattaya, but the recent turmoil in Thailand urged organisers to cancel the event instead.

It has however been confirmed that judging for the event will continue in Tokyo. Judges are due to start reviewing entries from 24 to 28 May. The winners and finalists will be announced during the week commencing 31 May on the official Adfest website.

Adfest president Jimmy Lam noted there are more than fifty judges, including creative executives, executive producers and directors, and 14 award categories, including Film, Press, Poster, Outdoor, Direct, Cyber, Radio, Design, Print Craft, Film Craft, New Director, INNOVA, 360 and Lotus Roots.

“We would like to thank our friends across the region for their unwavering support, understanding and patience,” said Vinit Suraphongchai, chairman of the Adfest Working Committee. “Adfest will return in 2011,” he added.
