Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been popping in and out of an award ceremony or two. Our BODYWORLDS ambient media idea has become quite the little superstar.

First was the Chip Shop Awards where – in addition to enjoying a grand night out - we came away with a Vinegar. To those of you who aren’t down with the Chip Shop lingo, that’s a silver medal/best runner up/second prize. Very nice.

Then came the FRESH awards. This year FRESH received almost 1000 entries from over 200 agencies, so the competition was fierce. In true Access style however, we weren’t phased and came away with a very respectable bronze.

In the words of Gunther Von Hagens, “Danke schön”.

If I had £333,333.34 for every nomination Access received at this year’s Chip Shop, I’d be a millionaire!

That’s right, we’re up for three awards.

Further to this statement on How Do

“Last week the Bishop of Manchester, the Rt Revd Nigel McCulloch, also asked MOSI and Body Worlds 4 to donate money to an ad campaign countering any adverse effect the show might have on people who otherwise may have been tempted to become organ donors”

we decided to write our own ads promoting organ donation. Two executions of the resulting campaign are in the running for ‘Best Charity Ad’.

Staying with the Body Worlds theme, our third nomination is for an ambient idea we just weren’t allowed to run.

The award ceremony takes place on August 21st in Edinburgh.

Fingers crossed.

Armed with remote controls and nunchucks, it’s time to commence the battle of the Wii. Girls are rocking the bowling alley with 4 dazzling strikes in a row, with the smelly boys gaining a cheeky second wind (hee hee!) and (only just) taking the winners medal…

Training camp now begins for tomorrow’s boxing round (cue the Rocky training anthem).
