The duo formed by Josafat Padilla and Humberto Ling has been declared the winning couple of the Young Lions 2008, so they must be packing their bags to go to Cannes to represent Costa Rica in the Print Competition of the main advertising festival in the world.

In a few hours I will have the opportunity to upload the pieces that competed in the final round, as well as the voting jury by jury, with names and surnames, hair and signs. In this way, each international jury will be able to verify their vote and for all intents and purposes, make clear the heart-stopping final that took place between the duos that won gold and silver.

In a situation like this, where the winning duo is precisely from Tribu, I do not ignore for a second that there will be plenty of comments and those who will add their suspicions. It is almost inevitable that some people will try to demerit the winning duos, and in particular, the one composed by Josafat and Humberto. However, he who owes nothing owes nothing fears nothing, and for this, in peace.

I trust I will soon have the pieces, the voting and any additional information that completes the necessary support to evacuate any possible concern. By the way, I add that I will not lend the blog to those who wish to sow rumors, gossip or heated arguments, such as the ones I just sent to the trash.

As I would have done for any of the participating couples, I send my warmest congratulations to the winning couple, I am very excited about their participation in Cannes. In addition, as I would have done in any agency or workplace, of course we will celebrate, applaud and acknowledge.

They won by competing and as in any contest or festival, some won first place while all won in a thousand ways as well. The Young Lions will be back in 2009 and it will surely be even bigger and better.

Congratulations again to the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners, as well as to all those who took the plunge to compete.
