The four winners in the Doritos 15 Seconds of Flavour competition, revealed impressive creative talent. Each of the winning young filmmakers receive R50 000 in cash and a chance to shine at next year’s Loerie advertising awards.
The winners are: Delano Daniels for the entry “The Number 2′ in the category “Peeping Tina’; Rick Joaquim for the entry “Steak vs Chili’ in the category “Anything Goes’; Jacques Roos for the entry “Project Piguin’ in the category “Double Vision’; and Evan Robinson for the entry “Two Worlds Collide’ in the category “House Party’.
“I’m astounded at the level of creativity showcased in the Doritos Collisions 15 Seconds campaign, and it’s certainly a proud moment for the brand,’ says Doritos spokesperson Nthabiseng Hlophe, who praised the “stunning’ winning entries for effectively capturing the novelty and experience of the product.
Entrants had to complete one of four 15-second Doritos Collisions advertisements by adding on their own filmed 15-second ending, and these four talented young shooting stars showed that they will soon be forces to be reckoned with in the industry.
