Done with judging the PHNX entries… Oh how refreshing it was to dive into such a huge pool of creative concepts. This is my 4th year with the The PHNX Awards… And what a huge responsibility jurors have in giving points from one to 10. Of course they are criteria to abide by but still, it is so subjective. I gave my best points to the campaigns that managed to wow me at first sight, since I was mostly judging print categories. But also design/packaging and good causes. The latter category was a bit disappointing. There was very few stunning campaigns in that space. Plenty lacked authenticity. Also not many campaigns from the Middle East, at least in the categories I had to judge. Dommage! PHNX is a unique opportunity: it is free till shortlists are out and its diverse jury of creatives, industry leaders, marketers, strategists, journalists and consultants is the only one of its kind. The results for entrants is often unlike any other in the global awards landscape.. Now the dices are rolled. PHNX awards winners will be announced May 16.. #phnxawards #Phnx2024 #awards #jury #advertising #creativity #phnxawards2024 #creativitymatters #freeyourideas #adawards

While my primary focus remains in Games Development, this year I challenged myself to apply my problem-solving skills in new domains. Our recent hackathon tasked us with developing a solution for naval engineers to rapidly respond to emergency alarms triggered by over 50 potential issues. The key challenge was delivering instant and accurate responses. Additionally, we added a simulation training demo to enhance real-time engineer responses. Drawing on my experiences from Game Jams, I quickly identified the core challenges and guided our team towards effective solutions right from the start. This insight significantly distinguished our approach, ultimately leading to our victory. However, this victory was undoubtedly a team effort. Each member brought diverse backgrounds and experiences, fostering clear communication and mutual trust. Together, we collaborated tirelessly, ensuring every innovative idea contributed to our out-of-the-box solution. I extend heartfelt thanks to UTS Rapido and Marintec for their invaluable support and resources, guiding us through every stage of our journey and keeping us focused on delivering a robust solution. #HackathonWin #ProblemSolving #Teamwork #Innovation #Gratitude #UTSRapido #UTSTECHFEST
