Residential showrooms / une copie sans concession?

 |
| THE ORIGINAL? Volkswagen « Residential showroom » – 2013 Source : Coloribus, EUROBEST SILVER Watch the Case Study Video Agency : DDB Brussels (Belgium) |
LESS ORIGINAL Honda « Honda Next Door » – 2018 Source : Cannes Lions AMBIENT SILVER Watch the Case Study Video Agency : Sid Lee Paris (France) |
Eng “In both cases brand ambassadors became designated dealers, and had their home garages converted into pop-up dealerships. The idea is identical and the execution pretty similar. Both have been awarded SILVER, one at the Eurobest and the other at Cannes Lions.”
Fr « Dans ces deux opérations un fan d'une marque automobile voit sa maison et son garage transformés en concession. J'ai du mal à déterminer une vraie différence entre ces deux opérations, et à trouver une originalité quelconque à la seconde. Quoiqu'il en soit, copie ou coïncidence, un Lion d'Argent c'est très bien payé pour un truc ressorti du garage. »

Even thumbnail is the same. Is it so difficult to check cannes archive before the final verdict?

@mat I don’t know why, but it’s a subject constantly swept under the carpet by the organizers. They probably want to maintain a high level of entries… and don’t want to frighten agencies with some « copycat patrol » but I think that it’s a bad behavior. They should consider this problem more seriously. It’s getting ridiculous.
