The Pikasso d’Or was launched in 1989 with Alain Weill who has since then presided over the Jury.
It is a prize that rewards the Best Creative Out-of-Home Advertising campaigns, according to Internationally recognized standards.
Dino Burbidge is a recognized expert in the digital creativity and media industry, with a strong passion for OOH & DOOH. He now runs the creative and innovation consultancy, Dinova. He is also a regular judge on numerous prestigious media awards panels and hosts the World Out-of-Home Organization Creative and Technical Innovation Awards each year.
Andrew Rawlins, former Secretary General and acting President for the 2023 & 2024 editions will be the Chairman of the Jury for this 2025 edition.
Antonio Vincenti said “I would like to thank Dino for having accepted the invitation to become the new President of the Jury of the Pikasso d’Or Awards.
I would like to extend my thanks and eternal gratitude to Alain Weill for a lifetime collaboration that has spanned almost four decades. In addition to being President of the Jury, his role included sharing his passion and expertise in OOH through more than a hundred conferences on poster creativity in Beirut, Amman and Algiers, where he educated hundreds of creatives on the art and tricks of how to design the most striking posters.
My warm thanks go to Andrew Rawlins who accompanied Alain throughout the journey, his presence at all Jury sessions made a huge difference thanks to his encyclopedic knowledge of the global OOH campaigns through the lens of the Epica Awards that he founded”.
Andrew Rawlins added “I am happy to welcome Dino Burbidge and would like to congratulate him for this prestigious appointment. I look forward to cooperating with him in this transitional year that promises to be a memorable and exciting Jury session”.
Dino Burbidge said: “I’m thrilled to be asked to join the Pikasso d’Or Awards as President. I’m aware I have big shoes to fill and am supremely grateful to both Andrew and Alain for setting such a high bar. As the saying goes, “the only thing that never changes is change itself.”
OOH has never been as exciting and as forward-looking as it is today. Change is exciting. There is constant progress in digital, programmatic, AI, hardware, measurement and data, yet one thing remains at the heart of the OOH industry… creativity. Creativity, in all its innovative forms, should be held up, celebrated and awarded so that others have a shining north star to aspire to.
Thank you especially to Antonio Vincenti for being mad enough to consider me for the role. I can’t wait to get started, to help support and nurture talent and to showcase the best-in-class creativity across the entire Pikasso network.”
