Organisers of the postponed AdFest 2010 have announced the festival will now take place on May 27-29 at the Pattaya Exhibition & Conference Hall in Thailand. 

The event was originally scheduled to take place in March, but was delayed due to uncertain political circumstances in Thailand.

Vinit Suraphongchai, chairman of the AdFest Working Committee, explained: "After watching events unfold closely in Thailand over the past few weeks, we are happy to say the cloud has passed. When we reluctantly called for a postponement, we simply did not know if our delegates, judges or speakers would experience inconveniences or travel delays due to the planned political rallies. Now that the rallies have occurred peacefully and dialogues have begun, we are confident that they can again travel to Thailand with their minds at ease.

"It was an extremely difficult decision to postpone AdFest, but we felt it was imperative to protect the legacy that AdFest has built up over the past 13 years as a fun, enjoyable and professionally-run event. 

"Now that the dust has settled, we have endeavoured to choose dates that won’t clash with any other major industry events and would like to thank our friends around the region for their empathy, concern and continued support."

Entries to AdFest 2010 have already closed. They include 14 different categories: Film; Press; Poster; Outdoor; Radio; Cyber; Direct; Design; Print Craft; Film Craft; New Director; 360; INNOVA, and Lotus Roots.
