GDLN Achievement


Macedonian video entry "Stairways", produced by Cre8ive8, ranked third for the People's Choice Award at the 2006 GDLN World Forum, held in Washington DC on 9-11 October 2006.


Dear humans & Blue Sky beings? we're happy to inform you about Cre8ive8's new achievement :) Not more than a month ago C8, supported by the British Council's Study & Conference Centre and in cooperation with the State Authority for Geodetic Works, decided to take part in the World Bank's Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) Video Competition. We were due to submit a 3 minute video clip that would celebrate the achievements and illustrate the impact on the GDLN related work over here in Macedonia. Thus why, the video's main "heroes" are the employees of the State Authority for Geodetic Works that attended the GDLN video sessions. Anyways, just a couple of days ago the announcement came that:

Macedonian video entry "Stairways", produced by Cre8ive8, ranked third for the People's Choice Award at the 2006 GDLN World Forum, held in Washington DC on 9-11 October 2006.

"When our video was announced, it was described as "very interesting production and very different from the other entries" by Monika Weber-Fahr, Manager of the GDLN and Multimedia Division at the World Bank Institute." - says Zarko Koneski, the British Council's Study & Conference Centre representative at the GDLN World Forum 2006.

Other countries that participated as well were: Australia/Timor Leste, Benin, India, Macedonia, Mexico, Morocco, The Netherlands, Thailand and Ukraine, and the awards were presented by Frannie Lautier, Vice President, World Bank Institute, and members of the jury.

Even though video entres like these are not Cre8ive8's main goal this is yet another achievement and proof that we have grown into a professional film crew.

Off we go looking 4 new challenges :)
