VIDEO CATEGORY

Over 300 videos were sent by the Barcelona World Race skippers, which filled the Barcelona World Race special programmes broadcast by some of the most prestigious sports and general channels on television, as well as providing fresh daily news from the regatta. This material was key in the exceptional coverage of the Barcelona World Race, whilst still in its relative infancy.

Winner:

Neutrogena, for the enormous quantity and great quality of material sent and the clarity employed to bring offshore sailing and life on board closer to the general public.
