ANNA 2006 winners announced

+ The ANNA winners were announced yesterday. Top ad went to Nike's "St Wayne" of Wayne Rooney by Wieden + Kennedy that caused commotion mid-2006 as a poster. Chris Groom, Stuart Harkness and Guy Featherstone won the £25,000 'Winner of Winners' award for the best national newspaper advertisement of 2006 for the ad. June judge Dave Dye said:

"This reminds me of one of those great, jingoistic Sun front covers like 'Achtung!' or 'Turnip Head,' the kind of images that seep into our culture. The fact that it was spoofed with Rooney holding Ronaldo's decapitated head is testament to this."

Best Art Direction went to an Murphy's Fast Flow - drawn in 26 seconds ad by Bartle Bogle Hegarty. Best Copywriting went to Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R's ad for Virgin Trains.
