The most groundbreaking and boundary-crossing works of the Turkish advertising, design and communication industries have been awarded at the 26th Crystal Apple Festival of Creativity held in Istanbul.

The event, presented as the second largest marketing communications and creativity festival of the world, drew together a number of prominent foreign and local representatives of the advertising, marketing, media and communication sectors.

More than 7,500 delegates attended over 80 conferences, panels, forums, workshops and training activities held with more than 100 industry leaders.

The best works of the Turkish advertisement industry were awarded at two ceremonies held on the first and second nights of the three-day event, which began on Sept. 17.

After 42 Crystal Apple awards were presented to their recipients on the first night, a total of 61 awards across eight categories were bestowed on the second day. A grand party took place on the night of Sept. 19.

Hürriyet’s “Hürriyet Benim” campaign, which aimed at underlining individual freedoms and recalling newspapers and digital spaces as platforms of individual freedoms, was honored with three Crystal prizes for the best media advertisements, best integrated campaign and best jingle categories.
