Two silver statues to Hyper Island students Christian Söderholm and Dennis Rosenqvist in the 50th Clio Awards.
On May 13th, Christian Söderholm and Dennis Rosenqvist, students in Interactive Art Director 09, won silver in the Student Interactive category - twice! - in the annual Clio Awards.
The work for Skara Sommarland – “Take the Challenge” – gets awarded once more. And this time around, the entry “Tag Player” for BBC also gets a statue.
– Feels extra nice to win two statues for two different entries, says Dennis Rosenqvist.
Next up is the D&AD awards in the beginning of July, where “Tag Player” is nominated again.
– Now that we missed the gala in Las Vegas, we should really try to go to the D&AD ceremony in London. We hope that the jury has the same opinions as the one in Clio had, Christian Söderholm fills in, smiling.
Christian is currently at a placement at DDB Stockholm and Dennis is at Wieden + Kennedy London. You can read more about them at www.christiansoderholm.com and www.dennisrosenqvist.com.
