"This year's programs were of exceptional quality, which presented our international jurors with a challenging task," said fest director Urban Frye. "However, the caliber of entries proves not only that the Rose d'Or is back at the heart of European creativity, but also that it is possible to create programs with cross-cultural and cross-generational appeal."
Next year's Rose d'Or fest will run May 1-5.
